The £100 million earmarked by the Church of England for a new investment fund to help repair damage caused by its historic links to slavery is ‘not enough’, a report says. It comes after an investigation last year found the Church had invested large amounts of money into a company that transported tens of thousands of slaves. The Church welcomed the report by the Church Commissioners charity and accepted its recommendations but would not commit to raising the fund to the report’s £1 billion (AUD $1.9b) target.
