I see what you're saying but when it's phrased such that decisions made by church commissioners will be made"
taking into account the advice of the Church of England's Ethical Investment Advisory Group" rather than, decision being made
by the Church of England's Ethical Investment Advisory Group, isn't there an assumption being made that any decision made by the CoE will be ethical, because it's the CoE? Will consumers feel any skepticism and hope that regulators check the CoE as closely as they would any investment company?
When you read about this, were your feelings at all influenced by the fact that it's a CoE venture rather than an investment company that you'd never heard of but that aren't a religious organisation?
