The Maryland Episcopal diocese has made a powerful statement: delegates to the diocesean convention in September voted decisively to commit one million dollars in reparations -- funds to go toward strengthening and expanding programs in African American communities in Baltimore and beyond. The Rt. Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton, Bishop of the Maryland Episcopal diocese, talks with us about forgiveness and reconciliation and the work this generation must do to dismantle structural racism and correct wrongs of the past.
