Justin Welby's perspective on slavery reparations

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has argued that reparations for slavery would be group punishment itself. This view contrasts with recent discussions in Britain about learning from the Dutch government's apology for slavery. The UK has also committed to time-bound talks on a similar apology. Meanwhile, the Church in Wales is exploring ways to make its churches more welcoming for individuals with disabilities, and the need for help for the bereaved is becoming more important.
