Introducing the motion, Synod member Reverend Andrew Moughtin-Mumby, from Southwark Diocese, spoke of the “horrible, humiliating racism” experienced by the family of one of his parishioners who were turned away from a south London church because they were black.

Rev Moughtin-Mumby said Doreen Browne’s family had been barred from St Peter’s Church in Walworth in 1961 “due to the plain fact of the colour of their black skin”.


“They eventually found a home in a nearby parish church, but we know that many cradle Anglicans from the Caribbean did not, and simply left the Church of England. That is a scandal of our own,” he said.

“Doreen’s family suffered a horrible, humiliating racism which still affects Doreen’s relationship with the Church even today.”

Fresh off the boat, looking for a community, tries to join the church, the folks who are supposed to know better, and gets told to fukk off.

Yeah, fukk them.
