Churches played an active role in slavery and segregation. Some want to make amends.

"A LOT of those who think they are owed reparations, if a proper genealogy and DNA investigation was done, would find they need to pay themselves."
My mother told me somewhat indelicately, "Most old Virginia plantation families have a touch of the tar brush." True of my family. My maternal great grandmother was the daughter of a house slave (they tended to get lighter and lighter each generation until they were treated as part of the family and given a dowry sufficient to attract a husband propertyless because of the primogeniture laws).

When will someone deal with the current black family problems?

“..“We must make, where we can, repair.” ..”

And repair has been going on for over 150 years. Look how far the black community has come?? They may be less than 13% of the population but play a major role in all phases of government, dominate the NFL and NBA, far outnumber whites on TV, and much more. We have black mayors of cities in very large numbers all over the country, especially here in the south. All these accomplishments were not earned, but the white man willed it to happen. Incidentally, the black community also excels in crime, far outpacing the white guy.

The Bishop needs to do his homework.

Haven’t the Epissalopians done enough damage, ordaining the first gay bishop back in the 90s?

Please. Stop meddling.

Speak with your wallet. No one one makes you support the church of Wokeovia.
