On 11/01/2023 the "Telegraph" reported that the Church Commissioners are providing £100 million 'to address past wrongs of slavery'. Now slavery and any form of racism is utterly corrupt and abhorrent.

I repeat: slavery and any form of racism is utterly corrupt and abhorrent (along with homophobia, misogyny, sexism, ageism, islamophobia, antisemitism, etc, and so on).

But concerning this particular response to a wrong of two centuries ago (the British Empire abolished slavery in the 1830's) Marcus Walker (of Save The Parish) wrote this:

'Suddenly the Church has money. After decades of telling us that there is no money to fund the churches and priests who keep the church alive on the front line, suddenly they've found £100 million behind the back of the sofa.

Only last year they told us they couldn't afford to fund the £12 million which would have cleared all the deficits run up by churches which were caused by Covid, or the £24 million which would clear the deficits in dioceses.

How can the Church have the brass neck ever to ask for another
penny from its parishes again?'
