Rethinking the entangled past of church, landed classes and coal mining communities: extractive theologies, unequal settlements and the call for repar

这个跨学科的项目在英国19世纪的殖民背景下询问了圣公会，地主阶级和煤矿社区的关系。本书以东北煤田为重点，考察了基督教、帝国主义和采掘想象的作用，这些想象为国内外自然和人力资本的开采提供了理由。特别是，它考虑了教会和士绅之间的工业勾结是如何被一种使多重不平等合理化的道德框架所推动的，这种不平等的影响一直持续到今天。利用当前政治和神学的赔偿概念，该项目考虑这些持续存在的不平等是否可能得到解决。

This interdisciplinary project interrogates the relationships of the Anglican Church, landed classes and coal mining communities in a British nineteenth-century colonial context. Focusing on the North East coalfield it examines the role of a Christian, imperial and extractive imagination, which justified exploitation of natural and human capital at home and abroad. In particular, it considers how industrial collusion between church and gentry was fuelled by an ethical framework that rationalised multiple inequalities, the effects of which persist today. Using current political and theological concepts of reparations, the project considers whether these persistent inequities might yet be resolved.
