英国圣公会大主教莎拉·穆拉利完成了为期十天的非洲访问，期间重申教会对奴隶贸易历史的赔偿承诺[1]。穆拉利于2025年3月25日就任坎特伯雷大主教，是历史上首位女性大主教，此次是其就任后首次访问非洲[1]。在加纳和喀麦隆访问期间，穆拉利参观了奴隶堡垒，为教会在奴隶贸易中扮演的角色表示悔罪，并呼吁建立包容性对话以实现和平与治愈[1]。
圣公会已承诺设立1亿英镑的奴隶贸易赔偿基金，该基金首次宣布于2023年1月，计划在2032年前用于投资、研究和援助项目[1]。穆拉利访问的Cape Coast Castle是英国控制的奴隶堡垒[1]。一项独立审计发现，18世纪教会基金即安妮女王基金曾大量投资奴隶贸易公司并从中获利[1]。教会的独立监督小组此前建议赔偿金额应为10亿英镑或更多[1]。
Archbishop Sarah Mullally of the Church of England concluded a ten-day visit to Africa during which she reaffirmed the church's commitment to a £100 million compensation fund for victims of the slave trade [1]. Mullally, who became the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in March 2025, used her inaugural African tour to visit slave fortresses in Ghana and Cameroon, expressing the church's contrition for its involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and calling for inclusive dialogue to achieve peace and reconciliation [1].
During her tour, Mullally visited Cape Coast Castle, a fortress controlled by the British from the 1660s onward [1]. The archbishop's visit underscored the church's acknowledged complicity in slavery: an independent audit discovered that the Church's eighteenth-century investment fund, known as Queen Anne's Bounty, had profited substantially from companies engaged in the slave trade [1]. The £100 million reparations fund was first announced in January 2023 and is intended to support investment, research, and assistance projects through 2032 [1]. An independent Church oversight panel had previously recommended that reparations should amount to £1 billion or more [1].
