Mission, Race, and Empire

"Mission, Race, and Empire" offers a comprehensive history of the Episcopal Church, tracing its evolution from its roots in the early British Empire to contemporary times. The narrative explores the intertwined legacies of race and empire, highlighting how these factors shaped the church's ideologies and practices, particularly regarding exclusion. Author Jennifer Snow brings to light the experiences of marginalized groups—including Native Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, women, and LGBTQ individuals—while also examining the efforts of leaders striving for inclusivity within the church.
