The works of Caribbean & African Writers and Composers are often overlooked in the existing system. Even amongst BMCs (Black Majority Churches), their works are infrequently shared and often marginalised.

Such is the state of affairs—at the 70th National Windrush Celebrations held at Westminster Cathedral, no song written by a British Black Songwriter was known across all churches to mark the occasion.

An example: UK & US composers who are familiar with or have administrative support in spreading their songs are systematically advantaged. A pro-active system approach to encouraging the use of songs among British Churches and an outreach to other Churches/ communities around the world would enable and empower choice.

Globally or locally there has never been a British Caribbean or African writer/composer listed in the top 200 used hymns or songs on CCLI.

Research has confirmed there is an equality & equity issue: In three-quarters of a century, SongShare is the first-time approach of practical engagement to reshape the systematic impact of music and race on ecumenical relationship/life. ·There are no systematic methods that give consistent access to songwriting worship leaders among BMCs. As a consequence there are no resource systems available to British-based songwriters which feed into the organised system. This has denied opportunities for financial remunerations and economic growth of Christian Black music creatives and entrepreneurs.
