A new report has called the £100 million investment fund set up to address the Church of England’s links to transatlantic slavery “too small and slow”.
The report said instead the target should be instead be £1bn, calling for a “fund for healing, repair and justice.”
The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said the report was “the beginning of a multi-generational response to the appalling evil of transatlantic chattel enslavement”.
Announced in January last year, the funding programme was created for investment, research and engagement to address past wrongs of the Church.
