Core Issues Trust (CIT), a counselling service that offers help to people who voluntarily come to talk about their same-sex attraction, has been told by Barclays they are withdrawing its banking services in mid-September.

Led by Mike Davidson, the group received abusive calls and messages, and has been dropped by multiple service providers, including Paypal and Mailchimp since being targeted through a social media campaign.

Andrea Williams, CEO of Christian Concern, commented: ‘If it is CIT first, it will be churches next. If banks and other service providers start to placate social media campaigns by unilaterally terminating their accounts, then the UK will be a very difficult place for Biblically faithful Christian ministries.’
