Church of England faces new evidence of slave-trade financing amid reparations debate

Newly examined Register of British Slave Traders shows Church of England clergymen financed a company that trafficked enslaved Africans on hundreds of voyages. Archbishop Sarah Mullally, visiting Cape Coast Castle in Ghana, recommitted the church to a 'journey of repentance' as reparations debate intensifies. The claim is based on documentary evidence, but the extent of church involvement and potential reparations remain contested.
