From The Black Wall St. Times-
In recent months, Virginia Theological Seminary,
Princeton Theological Seminary and Georgetown University have all
announced plans to fund initiatives that would benefit the descendants
of slaves, while Episcopal dioceses in New York and Long Island made million- and half-million-dollar commitments as reparations committees continued their work.
In May, the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland voted to study reparations and urge congregations to “examine how their endowed wealth is tied to the institution of slavery.
”Maryland’s
African American bishop, Eugene Taylor Sutton, said tears came to his
eyes when the measure passed at the diocese’s general convention with no
dissenting votes, and he realized that the assembled delegates,
representing a membership that is 90% white, “got it.”
