‘At the heart of any conversation about reparations is a need to look at the past so that we can see how it is influencing the present, in order to move forward. This is really a spiritual practice,’ said Sarum College Trustee Jane Shaw in an article for Prospect Magazine (November 2023).
Shaw describes the The Church of England’s creation of a new fund of £100m in reparations for the historic links between an 18th-century church fund with large investments in the South Sea Company, which traded in enslaved people as a ‘first step,’ and reflects that a decision to make further investment in reparations would represent a statement of values.
