Barclays closes bank account of Christian charity supporting people with unwanted same-sex attraction
from Christian Today:
Barclays Bank has bowed to pressure to close the bank account of a Christian charity that offers counselling to people with unwanted same-sex attraction.
The bank gave no explanation for shutting down the Core Issues Trust (CIT) account. However, it follows a social media campaign on Twitter by activists putting pressure on Barclays to suspend services to the charity.
The International Federation for Therapeutic Counselling and Choice, a project supported by CIT, has also received a closure notice from the bank.
The decision from Barclays comes amid a sustained campaign against CIT, which has received over 300 nuisance calls and hate messages, including rape and death threats against the family members of staff…
…The UK Government is expected to soon formally announce plans to ban so-called conversion therapy.
Mike Davidson, CEO of CIT, has denied offering discredited conversion therapy, calling it a “pejorative” and “accusatory” term.
