She said the church’s action is needed for communities still affected by slavery, while an oversight group had recommended £1 billion or more.
- Archbishop Sarah Mullally ended her 10-day Africa tour on Tuesday, August 4, defending the Church of England's £100 million reparations fund while visiting Cape Coast Castle in Ghana.
- An independent audit revealed that Queen Anne's Bounty, an 18th-century church endowment, had profited from slave-trading companies; the fund was first announced in January 2023 to address this legacy.
- Critics including Adebayo Anthony Kehinde deemed the commitment "grossly inadequate," while Jackie Makena, a young theologian from the Methodist Church in Kenya, argued that "recognition alone is not justice."
- Mullally praised peace-building partnerships between the Anglican Church and Catholic Church in Cameroon, preaching in Yaounde on August 4 about inclusive dialogue amid armed conflict.
- The African Union and United Nations continue pushing for accountability, with the UN declaring the transatlantic slave trade "the gravest crime against humanity" and Jackie Makena warning that structural injustices persist.
