Arun Arora, a bishop in the Church of England, has expressed concern regarding the church's recent decision to slash funding for racial justice initiatives from 26.7 million to 12 million over three years. This cut, made despite an increase in the church's endowment fund, signals a resistance among some church members to support racial justice. Arora warns that extreme views are infiltrating church decision-making at a time when racism is increasingly prevalent. The church also plans significant budget increases for clergy pay and property renovations, raising questions about prioritizing racial justice.
Arun Arora, the bishop of Kirkstall, stated that the Church of England's decision to cut funding for racial justice from 26.7m to 12m reflects resistance among some members to support racial equity initiatives; he fears extreme views are influencing decision-making.
Addressing the Church of England’s drastic funding cuts for racial justice, Arora emphasized the urgency of combating rising racism, asserting that 'Justice is not an ancillary add-on to the work of the church, it is the very work of God'.
