Journal Article
Historical Revision in Church
2020
Overview
In an essay, Patten characterized campaigners as arguing, \"history should be remitten to expunge the names (though not the endowments) of those who fail to pass today's tests of political correctness. \"s Across the Atlantic Ocean at Yale University, a similar debate regarding Calhoun College named for former U.S. Vice President John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) was resolved differently. In Brussels, Adam Hochschild's 1998 study shocked many when he argued Belgium profited while an estimated ten million Congolese died under the reign of King Leopold II.5 Nevertheless, Belgium's Royal Museum for Central Aifrica glorified Leopold II and colonialism for another two decades. Discussions regarding contested history and racial reconciliation in the Anglican Communion are evident in recent decisions made in the Episcopal Dioceses of Alabama, Maryland, and Southwestern Virginia.8 Journalists often report these events locally without considering them as part of a larger global pattern of historical revision and penance occurring in predominately white Christian communities coming to terms with complicity in the horrors of racism and slavery. Tony Gosling, the radio host of A Bristol Angle on World Politics on BCfm, was in attendance at the service that day and recounted that \"the bishop said he thought Edward Colston had 'lived a life of significance' and there 'may be still some speculation on some of the circumstances around his business roots right here [in Bristol].'\" Gosling interpreted Hill's comments on \"speculation\" as obscuring Colston's role in slave trading leading to what BBC Radio Bristol host Steve Le Fevre later described as a \"social media storm.
