Religion in Black Britain: A Force for Freedom or Control?

This workshop invites participants to explore religion’s dual legacies, examining how spiritual life has both empowered and constrained us throughout history.

Together we will consider;

  • The continuing role of spiritual traditions in shaping identity today.

  • How Black communities reinterpreted faith as a force of resistance.

  • How religion was used by empire as a system of control, exclusion, and violence.

  • Where faith continues to liberate, and where it can still reproduce control and silence.

Through shared discussion, we will listen and engage with other people’s experiences with openness and curiosity.
