Archbishop signals renewed £100m slavery reparations push during Ghana visit

On a visit to Cape Coast Castle, Archbishop Dame Sarah Mullally renewed the Church of England's commitment to a £100m reparations fund tied to its historic role in the transatlantic slave trade, noting that repentance must translate into action through investment, research and community engagement in affected areas. She described the castle’s dungeons and the “door of no return” as stark reminders of the past. The plan has faced opposition over historical accuracy, legal concerns and ideological objections, but Ghana’s foreign minister praised the move as a signal of accountability for the church’s legacy.

Anglican Church confronts its past: apology over forced adoptions

The Church of England issued a formal apology for its role in the historic forced adoptions of unmarried mothers, saying it is profoundly sorry for the pain, trauma and stigma suffered by birth mothers and children in the 1949–1976 mother-and-baby homes. A church report found staff attitudes and poor conditions at times, with some mothers subjected to demeaning labels and practices. While welcomed by some, critics argued the statement lacks a clear admission of wrongdoing. The government plans a separate state apology, and the church is offering parish-based support to those affected.

Durham River Hoard Ties Archbishop Ramsey to Hidden Christian Relics

Durham River Hoard Ties Archbishop Ramsey to Hidden Christian Relics

Durham archaeologists recovered a late-medieval to modern Christian hoard from the River Wear, including a bronze crucifix, Russian icon, Vatican II medals, and other devotional items, found in distinct clusters beneath Prebends Bridge. The cache is linked to Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury (1961–1974), through diaries and the Ramsey family; his wife Joan Ramsey and housekeeper reportedly disposed of the objects after being distressed by the prospect of keeping them. The items appear deliberately deposited, not randomly scattered, fueling speculation they could not be sold or given away. The find adds a new dimension to Ramsey’s era and illustrates a long-running pattern of river dumping of religious objects.

Gafcon Bypasses Canterbury Rivalry, Elevates Mbanda as Global Anglican Leader

Gafcon Bypasses Canterbury Rivalry, Elevates Mbanda as Global Anglican Leader

Conservative Anglicans in Abuja pulled back from electing a rival primus inter pares to the Archbishop of Canterbury and instead unveiled a new leadership council led by Rwanda’s Laurent Mbanda, while affirming Sarah Mullally as Canterbury. They frame their stance as doctrinal, not about gender or sexuality, criticizing Mullally’s support for same-sex unions. The move widens the split with the Church of England and creates a parallel leadership; Gafcon will not attend a forthcoming Anglican Communion conference in Belfast, and relations with the Church of England remain unclear, with some dialogue possible with the GSFA.
