Black History Month Resources

Proclamation & Prayers from the The Episcopal Church

From The Episcopal Church: Members of the Presiding Bishop’s staff have curated this list of resources for racial justice and reconciliation. This is by no means exhaustive; however, we are aware that many leaders are hoping to deepen their learning, and these resources should help you to move in the right direction.

Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music’s Resources for Racial Reconciliation and Justice

Resources include: Prayers of the People with Confession; Prayers of the People for Advent; Prayers of the People for Christmas; Prayers of the People for Epiphany; Litany of Repentance; Commissioning for the Ministry of Justice and Reconciliation

Liturgical Resources from the Church of England for Black History Month

From the Church of England: These resources, which are designed for use during Black History Month, include Services of the Word, a Eucharistic service, Prayers of Lament and of Commission, and links to further resources for Bible studies, youth work, Messy Church, and music. They are for all churches. The Church has immense formative power within the wider community and such power begins in our worship of God.
