Lack of individual morality – the deadly rot at the core of the charity sector

Something is rotten in the state of the charity sector. The carcasses of sex, money and power are piling up in the meat freezers of Oxfam and other charities.

Is the charity sector immoral? No. Neither is it amoral. How can it be? It is zealously devoted to ending poverty, inequality, disease and hunger. ‘We won’t live with poverty’ – Oxfam’s punchy, idealistic strapline says it eloquently. The charity sector is deeply moral – but it has a brave new morality.

[…] The rot began with the cutting of the umbilical cord joining charity to Christianity – even charities such as the Samaritans, founded by the Anglican priest Chad Varah, have severed this sacred link. I stopped supporting the British Red Cross after it banned nativity scenes from its shop windows. It later tried to backpedal with a rather convoluted excuse about not having ‘items of a religious nature’ in its shops because it would compromise its neutrality. One would have thought that the cross was the central symbol of Christianity! The Red Cross forgets the fact that its founder Henri Dunant was a Reformed Christian, who wasn’t ‘neutral’ about his faith. Amnesty International, which now supports abortion, was founded by Catholic convert Peter Benenson, based on a ‘religious commitment to justice’. Exclusively secular humanist or Leftist worldviews simply could not have spawned such organisations.
