The modern-day disasters which have befallen the Church of England are too many to mention, and they cannot be ascribed to coincidence. What is it about the Church that has set the conditions for repetitive failure, abuse and hypocrisy? Drawing on a combination of contemporary, historical and scriptural references, Charles Malet and Alex Thomson set about answering this question.
UK Column has covered many of the Church’s issues over the years and, of particular relevance to this discussion is the three part series Alex recorded with his father, Alex senior: Literacy. Charles’s articles on the ‘ethical’ investment policies of the Church Commissioners, and their substantial investments in ‘Big Tech’ provide more depth on the organisation’s finances.
