I am a non baptized Friend but I receive, what the computer calls, a clergy pension. This arises from a few years when I worked for Southwark Welcare. I have always disapproved of the investment policy of the Church Commissioners who assured me they did not invest in armaments made by companies for whom it was their major activity. By implication its alright to invest in those companies who make armaments but do other things too. I wish the Anglicans all the best in their campaign. It will be a good way to raise the issues of climate change too.
