The chief executive of the Church Commissioners for England has apologised for the body’s “shaming” links to transatlantic chattel slavery while speaking at an exhibition featuring documents and items highlighting the historic association.
Gareth Mostyn said “no amount of money will ever be enough to repair the damage done” through the slave trade but that the response of the commissioners, who manage an investment fund of more than £10 billion for the Church of England, would help create “a better future for all”.
