Memorial Episcopal Church removes plaques of slave-owning founders

There's been much talk about institutions and businesses doing their part to address racism. A west Baltimore church is beginning a journey to understand its past and atone for the men and women their founding rectors and families enslaved. The Memorial Episcopal Church started its journey in 2017. It wasn't until one of its current leaders revealed her own family had been enslaved that their efforts picked up momentum. "I think about the resilience of my folks, how they survived with the work and the labor," said the Rev. Natalie Conway, deacon of Memorial Episcopal Church in Bolton Hill.Conway recounted finding out that her great-great-grandmother, Harriett Cromwell, was enslaved at the Hampton National Historic Site, formerly Hampton Plantation in Towson off Dulaney Valley Road."They called her Hattie, and when she was manumitted in 1828, she had a 1-year-old son with her who was able to go with her. Anyone 2 and up had to stay here," Conway said.Anyone up to age 35 -- in other words, those who could work -- had to stay. Conway learned of her family connection to the plantation two years ago while she and her brother were looking into their genealogy. They found out members of their family, the Cromwells, were among the 450 slaves that worked the plantation. That led to an "a-ha" moment."I had been sitting in the back of the church on one of the pews that if I looked up I could see the plaques, and the plaques were dedicated to Charles Ridgely Howard, and I was like, 'Oh, my goodness,'" Conway said."Charles Ridgely Howard was the founding rector of Memorial. His mother, Sophia Ridgely, was born here as was Charles. Sophia married James Howard. They lived here at Hampton plantation," said the Rev. Grey Maggiano, rector at the Memorial Episcopal Church.Sophia Ridgely gave a gift of $5,000 to build the church. Maggiano asked Conway to tell her story to the congregation."I encouraged her to tell their story because I knew it would be the thing to drive this change, not only within our church, but in the diocese, but in the city," Maggiano said.Conway opened up to the church. She and members of the congregation held a healing ceremony at the Hampton site. And later, the church leadership and members talked about what used to hang in the back of the church. In June 2020, a unanimous decision was made to remove plaques honoring Charles Ridgely Howard."You have to keep the history, but I don't think the history of what was done here should be in a place of peace," Conway said.The plaques have been placed outside of the church, but the scars of the past remain. Memorial is now taking a close look at its own history. It has started a five-year reparations initiative committing a $100,000 a year."That is going to focus on organizations and individuals that are doing work in four areas in west Baltimore in our ZIP code, where we have been responsible for harm," Conway said.Conway is active in making that happen. Still, she is in awe that she drove past this plantation for years and it was her faith that finally brought her face to face with her past."I want to picture folks, what they were doing, how they were doing it," Conway said.

Absolution Through Reparations

If anything underscores how far mainline Christian churches in this country have strayed from their mission, it is their embrace of demands by racial activists for monetary reparations for black slavery. Episcopalians, as befits their guilt-ridden souls, once again have taken the lead in this misguided mission.
On Sunday, January 24, the members of Memorial Episcopal Church in Baltimore’s Bolton Hill area voted to set aside $500,000 over the next five years for “justice-centered work” as atonement for the church role in slavery and related injustices. Designated community organizations would spend the money pretty much as they please. The initiative was the brainchild of the church rector, Rev. Grey Maggiano, who led an internal probe of his church’s connections to slavery. The investigation widened after a deacon, Natalie Conway, who is black, learned that some of her ancestors were slaves of founding pastor Charles Ridgley Howard. The report concluded, “Racism is interwoven with Memorial Church’s history.” The church thus should provide compensation.

(RNS) — A historic Episcopal church in Baltimore has committed to setting aside $100,000 to reparations, an initiative that will contribute to local racial justice causes.
Memorial Episcopal Church also pledged to contribute an additional $400,000 for reparations and justice over five years.
“Our church has a long history of, unfortunately, supporting racial segregation up until 1969,
being active participants in it,” said the Rev. Grey Maggiano, rector of the church that was founded in 1860, on Tuesday (Jan. 26).
“And so we’ve identified a few key areas where we need to make particular amends and atone.”

“Our church has a long history of, unfortunately, supporting racial segregation up until 1969,

“And so we’ve identified a few key areas where we need to make particular amends and atone.”
The church’s action comes in response to the approval in September by the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland of a $1 million “seed fund for reparations.”
The full statement from Memorial follows:
Baltimore— Jan. 25 — Yesterday, Memorial Episcopal Church unanimously approved an act of reparations with the creation of the Guy T. Hollyday Memorial Justice and Reparations Initiative seeded a withdrawal of $50,000. The figure represents roughly 10% of the endowed wealth of the parish. The parish will add an additional $50,000 from its operating budget. The church has committed $500,000 to justice and reparations over 5 years.

An Episcopal church in Maryland has announced that it will be donating $500,000 to reparations and social justice organizations over the next five years.
Memorial Episcopal Church of Baltimore released a statement on Monday announcing that the funds would go into the Guy T. Hollyday Memorial Justice and Reparations Initiative.
The initiative’s namesake, Hollyday, was an activist who campaigned on behalf of issues including civil rights, environmentalism, and the LGBT movement.
The funds will go to various organizations that focus on housing inequality, education, civic involvement, and environmental issues.
According to the statement, the decision to fund these organizations as reparations derived from the knowledge that the church had a history of being supported by slave-owners.
