From the Rt Revd Dr
David Atkinson
Sir, - Thank you for
publishing my article on the 2009 C of E report Church and
Earth (Comment,
31 May). In your minor editing down of my original article, it
appears that the suggestion that the Church should work towards
disinvestment from fossil fuel and extraction companies is a recent
idea.
In fact, this is a
suggestion made by the report itself, together with call for a
"Sustainable Investment Policy". This is, indeed, made more
pertinent by recent news about "unburnable fuel reserves".
