TOMO 29,522 Posted Tuesday at 20:03 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 20:03 (edited) So I had a wander round this place today...took this picture of this notice....read the bottom...the Church of England only contributed 25 % ... Can you believe with all it's millions it will only pay for a quarter of the upkeep of its own building...900 year old bit of English history belonging to them....and they don't want to put there hand in there pocket....

I wasn’t quoting anyone, just making an observation. Evidently they lent Sir John Hall the money to build it and when it was sold they kept a 10% share.

Chid 6,847 Posted yesterday at 13:41 Report Share Posted yesterday at 13:41 5 minutes ago, Greyman said: Took seconds Do they own the companies?? You said they own arms manufacturers and casinos .. Where it is against their policy to have direct shares in gambling companies . There investment policy also prohibites having shares in arms organisations .. which also prohibites them having shares in companies that gain more than 10% of there annual turn over from strategic military sales ..

They did through a third party investment and when they realised they ended their investment.. policies change , but clearly it's more sensational to report on old and false news articles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
