The Church of England has been told to raise £1 billion from wealthy donors for a fund set up to address its links to transatlantic slavery.
In January last year, the Church Commissioners, who handle more than £10 billion of assets for the Church of England, announced the establishment of a £100 million fund to “address past wrongs of slavery”.
The pledge came following the publication of a report which found that much of the institution’s wealth originates from the slave trade.
