The Church of England's Church Commissioners are ear-marking £100million (or is it £1billion?) for slavery reparations. Emeritus Professor of Moral Theology and Member of the House of Lords, Nigel Biggar says that this idea is ethically dubious and amounts to thinly-veiled self-flagellation in an effort to appear relevant to a post-Christian society in the face of the Church's dwindling numbers and influence. CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with Lord Biggar about his new book and related issues:
