The Black Church in Canada

In May 2021, Carol Duncan (Professor of Religion and Culture at Wilfrid Laurier University) presented an overview of the origins of the Black Church in Canada debunking cultural stereotypes and taken for granted assumptions of its solely US-based origins at St. Jerome's University. She also discussed issues confronting the Black Church in the 21st century.
