    BLACK HISTORY MONTH


    01/10/2024 – 31/10/2024

    Welcome to Black History Month at St. Julie's. We hope conversations might be started that continue long after the end of October.

    Here's a short intro (1:16) for 2020:

    A prayerful reflection (3:55) focusing on a conversation between a person and God:

    So how much do we know of Black History? Here's a video (7:46) that might, unfortunately, be surprising.

    The last video referred to 1919. So, what was that all about? Our city is significantly involved. Find out more (5:37)
    N.B. This video comes with a warning about language used.

    1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored.

    So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University.

     

    We've all probably heard of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott but have you heard about the Bristol Bus Boycott?    (Find out more below.)

    A PRAYER FOR THIS MONTH (available here as a one minute video)

    Loving God,

    Help us deepen our understanding, appreciation and experience of living as one people – all made in your image – all sharing a common home.

    In this special month and beyond, give us courage to ask questions of ourselves and others – even if those questions and responses make us uncomfortable.

    Help us move beyond the complicity of silence which allows injustice to continue.  Help us not be party to postponing that day when all of your people will feel valued and loved - and that we arrive together at the awesome moment when there will be no them – only US!

    We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

    Birthdate of Mahatma Gandhi and International Day of Non-Violence.

    Birthdate of Mahatma Gandhi and International Day of Non-Violence.


    02/10/2024

    This date was chosen by the United Nations as a day of non-violence specifically because it is the birthdate of this amazing human being - Gandhi - who was assassinated in 1948. Here's a mini-biography (2:45):

    A prayerful reflection (3:55) focusing on a conversation between a person and God:

    So how much do we know of Black History? Here's a video (7:46) that might, unfortunately, be surprising.

    The last video referred to 1919. So, what was that all about? Our city is significantly involved. Find out more (5:37)
    N.B. This video comes with a warning about language used.

    1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored.

    So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University.

     

    We've all probably heard of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott but have you heard about the Bristol Bus Boycott?    (Find out more below.)

    A PRAYER FOR THIS MONTH (available here as a one minute video)

    Loving God,

    Help us deepen our understanding, appreciation and experience of living as one people – all made in your image – all sharing a common home.

    In this special month and beyond, give us courage to ask questions of ourselves and others – even if those questions and responses make us uncomfortable.

    Help us move beyond the complicity of silence which allows injustice to continue.  Help us not be party to postponing that day when all of your people will feel valued and loved - and that we arrive together at the awesome moment when there will be no them – only US!

    We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

    Anti-Slavery Day

    Which century are we living in?

     

    Slavery didn’t end with abolition in the 19th century.   It still exists today in every country in the world. There are estimated nearly 21 million people in slavery across the world.    Modern slavery is the severe exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain. Victims are deceived or coerced into a situation which they cannot leave.

    Slavery is closer than you think. It happens all over the world, including the UK and the rest of Europe.

     

     

    In 2015, the government acknowledged that slavery was not a thing of the past and passed legislation:

     

    Here are 10 things that you maybe didn't know about slavery in Britain:

    Which do you find most concerning and why?

    How might you recognise instances of slavery?

    Someone in slavery might:

    • appear to be under the control of someone else and reluctant to interact with others
    • not have personal identification on them
    • have few personal belongings, wear the same clothes every day or wear unsuitable clothes for work
    • not be able to move around freely
    • be reluctant to talk to strangers or the authorities
    • appear frightened, withdrawn, or show signs of physical or psychological abuse
    • dropped off and collected for work always in the same way, especially at unusual times, i.e. very early or late at night.

    What to do if you spot the signs?

    If you suspect that someone is in slavery, DO NOT confront them or cause a scene as this will likely lead to increased harm for them. Instead, inform relevant authorities or organisations working in the field.

    If you are in the UK and suspect someone might be in slavery, you have several options:

     

    A PRAYER FOR THIS DAY (available as video - 45 secs - by clicking here)

    Loving God,

    we place before you all who are living as slaves;

    all who are exploited, manipulated and taken advantage of;

    all who feel trapped with no hope of escape.

     

    Give them strength and comfort,

    Guide us to notice, speak up and act,

    Help the authorities take the side of these your children

    that they be liberated and healed.

    We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN

    St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us.

    So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University.

     

    We've all probably heard of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott but have you heard about the Bristol Bus Boycott?    (Find out more below.)

    A PRAYER FOR THIS MONTH (available here as a one minute video)

    Loving God,

    Help us deepen our understanding, appreciation and experience of living as one people – all made in your image – all sharing a common home.

    In this special month and beyond, give us courage to ask questions of ourselves and others – even if those questions and responses make us uncomfortable.

    Help us move beyond the complicity of silence which allows injustice to continue.  Help us not be party to postponing that day when all of your people will feel valued and loved - and that we arrive together at the awesome moment when there will be no them – only US!

    We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

    N.B. This video comes with a warning about language used.

    1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored.

    So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University.
