Faith in Church Newspapers [EPUB ebook] 
A Contextual Theology of Identifiable Black Actors and ‚Race‘ Related Issues Found in the Church Times and the Church of England Newspaper

This book offers a practical theology that looks at the way people of global majority heritage are portrayed in the religious press of the Church of England and have been racialized as other than White. The frame analysis shows that only a minority of news items in The Church Times and The Church of England Newspaper were concerned with ‚race‘ related issues or contained identifiable Black actors. Faith in Church Newspapers looks at how these news items can exclude and marginalize people of global majority heritage by restricting their coverage to specific and limited contexts. This book is concerned both with the findings from the analysis of these papers and with the wider implications for Christian mission in the Church of England. The case studies are idiographic and qualitative and take us behind the data of news gathering.
Faith in Church Newspapers is accessible scholarship intended for both an academic and a lay audience. This is an original book and one of crucial importance not just to Black theology but also to urban and contextual theology. It will aid theological students undertaking pastoral education and also students of journalism, history, and social change.
