Bunhill: Church of England Insurance
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THINGS aren't what they were at the Church of England, what with an advertising campaign and the launch this week of a PEP by the Ecclesiastical Insurance Group. But it is Harry Tomczyk, EIG's marketing man, who provides conclusive proof of a more businesslike attitude. 'All our profits go back to the Church,' he said. 'Although we issue church policies, we also issue life policies which generate alot of profit. It's a Christian approach to business - we try to run the company that way.' And he added: 'We can't be totally rigid, people are living longer nowadays.' Fewer funerals, more money - sounds like an adman's dream.
