Christian charity demands major bank reinstate account following hefty settlement – By Jon Brown (FOX Business) / July 27, 2023
Nonprofit received payout equivalent to more than $25,000 from Barclays
A Christian charity is demanding a major bank in the United Kingdom reinstate its account after the bank recently settled for more than £20,000 in compensation and legal fees after shuttering it in July 2020.
Core Issues Trust (CIT) and the associated International Federation for Therapeutic and Counseling Choice (IFTCC) received a payout equivalent to more than $25,000 last month amid allegations that the London-based Barclays Bank illegally discriminated against them because of their alleged support for “conversion therapy.”
The Northern Ireland-based nonprofit trust seeks to help adults who voluntarily seek change in sexual identity and expression and is the only registered charity of its kind in the U.K. So-called conversion therapies aim to convert LGBT individuals to heterosexuals or traditional gender identities.
