Church of England X Amazon

Arch bishop of Canterbury accused amazon for not paying its taxes and it’s been disclosed that COE has investment in amazon and a pretty big one.

So is Arch Bishop a hypocrite or he just wants amazon to pay its taxes while maintaining the investment?

He's the Archbishop of Centerbury, of course he's a hypocrite.

The Church of England is exempt from paying income tax and receives other benefits under current tax law.

Methinks i smell hypocrisy.

This begs the question as to why we're so surprised. I always thought hypocrisy was a fundamental principle of the Christian church.

The Church also employs people on zero hours contracts.

Church criticising any other organisation for not paying its way = hilarious hypocrisy

Justin Welby certainly seems to be trying to bring various issues to public attention and bring about change. He recently spoke out about Universal Credit and its effects.

I hope he's trying to make changes within the church too.

As a church only supported by about 10% of the English population, he could make a start by campaigning for disestablishment.

Good point. Can we really still consider ourselves to be a Christian country?

I'll informed as well, I am not defending Amazon, but they pay (as I do) what the state asks them to, if they exploit laws, exemptions etcetera then it is up to the law makers to sort that out, not Amazon to pay more or the church. Same goes for Starbucks & so many more.

The most recent surveys show only 40% of the population saying they are a Christian of any sort and only 18% attend a place of worship at least once a month.

I don't see any contradiction to start with. If you don't like the way a company behaves then owning shares in it is one of the smartest things to do. Personally i wouldn't buy on a PtE over 30 so I think they are insane to buy those shares last year, but it's their money.

Nothing wrong with criticising a business in which you have shares. Many investors do and have a right so todo. Where I part company with the Archbishop is the platform he used. The TUC is the Union arm of the Labour Party so he has now entered into Party Politics. As someone who sits in the Lords as 'Crossbencher' of the '2nd Estate' he should know better, and probably does, so this was a deliberately political act. So he is now fair game for criticism and I hope he gets both barrels.

Religious leaders have a duty to comment on moral and society issues. They should keep out of Party Politics or face the consequences.

And if we think his comments on Universal Credit just as Labour mount a campaign against it are a pure coincidence then we really are naive ...

I can't see him doing that anytime soon.

Only 9.6% of private sector workers are members of a trade union compared to 67.4% of state funded jobs. I think trade unions need to be disestablished.

I'd agree if trade unions were established.
