| Church of England votes to apologize for its role in the global slave trade |
| 2006-02-09 |
| The Church of England voted Wednesday to acknowledge its complicity in the global slave trade and to urge governments to fight its modern equivalent: human trafficking. The General Synod, a national assembly elected from the laity and clergy of each diocese, voted unanimously to commemorate next year's 200th anniversary of Britain's abolition of slavery by apologizing to the descendants of slaves for its role in the injustice. |
