What can we do now to Celebrate and Conserve the legacy of the Windrush Generation? A conversation for everyone!
With an emphasis on faith, this conference aims to illuminate the historical experience and theological context of The Windrush Generation since the post-war years. Through a re-examination of the socio-religious experience, beliefs, mission, and liturgical practices of the first generation of African-Caribbean migrants to Britain, this event promises to engender further historical and theological interpretations of the ‘Windrush legacy’.
