In the month and a half since President Donald Trump launched a war with Iran — which in retaliation effectively closed shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a major chokepoint for Middle Eastern oil exports — fuel prices have shot up across the world. In the Inland Northwest, regular unleaded gas hovered around $5 per gallon over Easter weekend in Spokane, while just across the border in Idaho, in Stateline and Post Falls, prices were around $3.98. Regardless of which side of the border you fill up on, that’s a spike of about 80 cents to a dollar per gallon compared to before the war started on Feb. 28.

It is over three years since the Church Commissioners published their controversial report on the Church’s links to the slave trade. Since then critics have challenged the Commissioners’ historical research while both the Church Commissioners and their historical advisers have published their separate responses to such criticism. However, in the light of recent academic research it is now clear beyond doubt that the Commissioners’ historical analysis is deeply flawed and their conclusions mistaken. The Commissioners therefore have a moral responsibility to withdraw their report and correct the record before a false historical narrative, to which they have lent their full authority, becomes further embedded in Google, AI and in schools and colleges throughout the world.
