Church and slavery

From the very beginning, the Church was involved in the Dutch colonial history of slavery – not only ideologically (is it morally permissible to trade and own enslaved people?), but also as an active participant, including in the role of slaveholder. This project explores the history, theology, and enduring impact of the complex and often painful relationship between the Church and slavery.
