Justin Welby defends £100m fund to ‘address past wrongs of slavery’ as churches struggle.
The Most Rev Justin Welby acknowledged fears over 'stretched' parish finances, but justified the £100 million slavery reparations fund by saying 'it is now time to take action to address our shameful past' - Anadolu Agency. (Found on Yahoo)
One commenter was sad that the church felt it needed to atone for past sins. He went on, "...because of all the parish priests and volunteers who selflessly support the day-to-day activities of the Church, yet are starved of funds and expected to do more and more by combining parishes. Meanwhile, the bureaucracy of the central Church seems to grow apace, absorbing ever more money.
My incredulity is at the astounding ability of the Church, presumably under the direction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, to jump on any woke bandwagon."
I certainly agree this is bizarre and a kick in the teeth for parishes.
