The £28 million in donations from Sir Paul Marshall’s Sequoia Trust to Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) and the Church Revitalisation Trust (CRT) between 2018 and 2025 has drawn a public challenge from Rev Dr Darrell Hannah, chair of Operation Noah, who stated that Marshall’s views are “in direct opposition to those of the Church of England” on the climate crisis. Marshall, a co-owner of GB News, has described UK climate policy as “climate derangement syndrome” and does “not subscribe to net zero by 2050”, while the Church of England maintains a routemap for net zero carbon emissions by 2030 and has divested its endowment and pension funds from fossil fuels.
