Title: Church and Google Post by: DungBeetle on May 17, 2016, 01:05:49 AM Google is one of the Church of England's 20 most valuable equity holdings.
Perhaps the Archbishop chap can stop banging on about corporation tax. It does raise a question though - can someone argue about wrongness while his organisation simultaneously gains from it because it is perfectly legal?

I have quite a bit of my savings invested in shares. If you start putting moral criteria on them, then I am pretty sure that I could end up with zero holdings. I personally just draw the line at Tobacco. I think you can still invest in a company even if you don't like some of what they do. Minor bits of hypocrisy aren't so bad, this isn't twitter.
