"Superb.... The first comprehensive history of modern race relations within the Episcopal Church and, as such, a model of its kind." -
Journal of American History
Meeting at an African American college in North Carolina in 1959, a group of black and white Episcopalians organized the Episcopal Society for Cultural and Racial Unity and pledged to oppose all distinctions based on race, ethnicity, and social class. They adopted a motto derived from Psalm 133: "Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Though the spiritual intentions of these individuals were positive, the reality of the association between blacks and whites in the church was much more complicated.
Episcopalians and Race examines the often ambivalent relationship between black communities and the predominantly white leadership of the Episcopal Church since the Civil War. Paying special attention to the 1950s and 60s, Gardiner Shattuck analyzes the impact of the civil rights movement on church life, especially in southern states, offering an insider's history of Episcopalians' efforts, both successful and unsuccessful, to come to terms with race and racism since the Civil War.
"A model of how good this kind of history can be when it is well researched and centers on the difficult choices faced and made by people who share institutional and faith commitments in settings that call those commitments into question." -
American Historical Review
"Will be of considerable benefit to scholars, students, church members of all denominations, and anyone concerned with issues of racial justice in the American context." -
Choice
"An essential addition to the history of race and the modern South." -
