Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally has reaffirmed the Church of England's commitment to a £100m fund for communities affected by the transatlantic slave trade, speaking during a visit to Cape Coast Castle (a 17th-century Ghanaian fortress where thousands of enslaved Africans were held before being shipped across the Atlantic). Standing at the site's "Door of No Return," Mullally expressed "lament" for the church's historical involvement in chattel slavery, stating that repentance must translate into concrete action. The pledge has drawn mixed reactions, with an independent oversight group arguing the sum falls far short of the £1bn needed to address generational harm, while some Conservative MPs have called for the money to be redirected to clergy wages.
