The Archbishop of Canterbury was first to sign the register of a new credit union for clergy and church staff in England and Scotland.

Archbishop Justin, who has praised credit unions and their role in deprived areas, helped launch the Clergy Mutual Credit Union at a fringe event at General Synod today.

The event, jointly hosted by Church of England's Mission and Public Affairs Council and the Church of Scotland, was focused on how churches can help boost credit unions for all communities.
