The Co-op Bank in the UK has asked an evangelical Christian group to close its account at the bank because of the group’s anti-homosexual views. The bank stated that the opinions of Christian Voice were incompatible with the bank’ stance on diversity and human rights.
Good for them! Christian Voice is a very extreme organisation. Its director, Stephen Green, was interviewed on Radio 4 this morning.
As Justin McKeating wrote on the Chicken Yoghurt blog today: "As cheering as it was to hear Stephen Green exposed as a whinnying fool yet again, I think it’s a little unfair that such a small unrepresentative group of yahoos are given all this airtime". True, but Green was given ample opportunity to show himself up as a bigot and an idiot, and he did not disappoint one iota. A link to the radio interview is on the Chicken Yoghurt blog.
