"Church of England Pressured to Increase Slavery Reparations Fund to £1bn"

The Church of England's £100m investment fund to address its historic ties to slavery is deemed "not enough" by a report, which recommends increasing the fund to at least £1bn. The fund aims to support black-led businesses focusing on education, economic empowerment, and better health outcomes. The report also calls for the Church to fully acknowledge its involvement in the slave trade and apologize for its historical denial of the humanity of black Africans. The Church has welcomed the report but has not committed to raising the fund to the recommended amount.
