set all free, is an initiative set up by Churches Together in England as a
collaboration between those who are happy to work with a Christian ethos on the
relevance of the bicentenary. The project aims to remember the past and apply its
lessons to tackle the legacies of transatlantic slavery and its modern day equivalent.

Richard Reddie, its Project Director said,

“This is an important moment in British history. The transatlantic slave trade has been described as a crime against humanity. Those who worked to end the slave trade were courageous Black and
White, men and women who told the world that it was no longer acceptable to treat other human beings like commodities.”

* * * The work of set all free will be focusing on three main elements to encapsulate the issue:

REMEMBER

  • The horrors of the Transatlantic Slave Trade
  • The abolitionists – Black, white, male, female
  • The role of the Church in both slavery and abolition


REFLECT

On the consequences of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and slavery, e.g.

  • Racism
  • Under-development
  • The impact on commerce

 

RESPOND

  • To legacies of slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade
  • By taking action to end modern forms of slavery
  • By working to effect healing and reconciliation
