Modern-Day Slavery Condemned By Church In Tanzania
Anglican clergymen in Tanzania’s Indian Ocean Zanzibar archipelago have condemned the slave trade as “the worst crime” ever committed by humans against other humans.
The Christ Church Anglican Cathedral, perched at the heart of Stone Town, is a symbol of remembrance to the men, women and children sold into slavery.
The massive cathedral built on the former slave market also serves as a reminder of the Anglican church’s role in abolishing the East African slave trade.
The Rev. Charles Majaliwa of the Zanzibar diocese said although the slave trade left an indelible stain on the history of Zanzibar, it is a stark reminder to reject modern-day slavery.
