Church of England Commits to £1 Billion in Reparations for Historic Slavery Links

The fund aims to address the Church's role in slavery and includes apologies for past actions, amid mixed reactions from various stakeholders.

The Church of England has accepted a report recommending £1 billion in reparations for its historic links to the slave trade.
The reparations aim to address the centuries-long impact of slavery and include apologies for the Church's past actions.
Critics, including some within the Church, have labeled the move as 'anti-Christian' and a 'death wish' for the institution.
Black faith leaders argue that even £1 billion may not be sufficient to fully address the legacy of slavery.
The reparations initiative is part of a broader effort by the Church to confront its historical injustices.
