| Résumé: | Peter Claver is commonly remembered as a patron saint of ministry to black Americans as well as the "saint of the slave trade." Partially by comparing him with Saint Martin de Porres, the only African-descended American saint, this article argues that rather than lauding Claver as a racial hero, we ought to recognize him as deeply complicit in the sins of white supremacy. This article aims to help the church more honestly reckon with its white supremacist past. |
