The Archbishop of Canterbury has dipped into the back pockets of the Church of England where the Church Commissioners keep their spare cash.
They manage an investment fund for the CofE of £10 billion made up of historic assets. They have agreed to give Mr Welby £100,000,000 to compensate the descendants of black people for having been enslaved six to 10 generations ago. Part of the justification for this is the recognition that some investments in the 18th century accrued benefit from profits made from a number of sources, but including the slave trade.
