The Church of England sold $3 million worth of shares in Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. due to concerns about the company's ethics. Eight News Corp. journalists have been charged by British authorities in connection with a phone-hacking scandal. "The Church of England was not satisfied that News Corp. had shown, or is likely in the immediate future to show, a commitment to implement necessary corporate governance reform," the church said in a statement.
