"I am deeply sorry for these links," Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby says in a statement.
"It is now time to take action to address our shameful past."
The Church of England's predecessor, the Church Commissioners, received funds linked to slavery worth more than $1 billion, according to the Pioneers Post.
The new fund will be used "to invest for a better and fairer future for all, particularly for communities affected by historic slavery," Welby says.
The Church Commissioners manage some $10 billion in assets, including real estate and company shares, and use the returns to support the church's ministry.
The new fund will be overseen by a new oversight group with "significant membership from communities impacted by historic slavery," the Church of England says.Selected Grant News Headlines
