The Church of England is reportedly committing £100 million towards addressing its historic links to slavery — but is this really the best use of Church funds?
Godfrey Bloom examines Britain’s complicated history with the slave trade, the abolition movement, William Wilberforce, the Royal Navy’s campaign against the international slave trade, and the enormous financial cost of abolition.
He questions how a modern reparations fund can be fairly distributed nearly two centuries after slavery was abolished across the British Empire, who will administer the money, and whether Church resources could instead be directed towards persecuted Christians around the world or Britain’s deteriorating churches.
Is this meaningful restitution — or another example of institutions judging history through a modern political lens?
