Church silver
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.(First Edition)
A vicar and his parishioners are going to Consistory Court in an attempt to get permission to sell church silverware, which is more than 370 years old and valued at about 300,000 pounds. The Rev Peter Barnett of St Paul's Church, Bristol, said the money was needed to help develop an inner city church and provide a community centre. The Council for the Care of Churches opposes the sale and says the silverware is of outstanding historic importance to the country.
