Black Lives Matter: resources for learning about & combating racism
“In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.” Angela Y. Davies
With thanks to Anna Warbrick, David Muir, Sanjee Perera and Anthony Reddie for suggesting and supplying the links and resources below. This is by no means a prioritised or definitive list, nor does BIAPT subscribe to every view represented in the resources below but, as far as we have been able to ascertain, they come from reputable sources and may be helpful as we seek to educate ourselves and commit to combating racism. Many of these resources will also be relevant in addressing and combating other forms of discriminatory practice and rhetoric.
- R David Muir, George Floyd Race, Injustice and Hope A Personal Reflection
- Sanjee Perera, ‘Beyond the lychgate: a strategic diagnostic of church culture and practices that marginalise and disenfranchise black, Asian & minority ethnic people in the Church of England’
- Sanjee Perera, ‘Pandemic & Pestilence: When we almost notice that blank lives matter less’
- Anthony G. Reddie, ‘Now you see me, now you don’t: subjectivity, blackness, and different in practical theology in Britain post Brexit’, Practical Theology 11/1 (2018): 4-16.

Contact / Practical Theology Timeline
This timeline was produced by Dr Stephen Roberts as part of a project considering the history and output of Contact/Practical Theology from its inception in 1960 up to 2018, as a means of analysing and evaluating the state of British and Irish practical theology during that period. It was used as the basis of a presentation to BIAPT’s 25th Anniversary Conference in 2019. The presentation has been written up as an article in Practical Theology 13.1.
