Financial institutions are guilty of discriminating against Christians. That’s the claim of Anglican vicar Richard Fothergill and charity exec Mike Davidson, both of whom are prominent Christians who have recently had their bank accounts closed. They argue banks are trying to force those with unpopular views out of public life. But the banks insist they are free to work with whoever they choose, and that personal views do not come into it. Are there really forces trying to unbank conservative believers whose convictions are at odds with society? And should we be worried about an extension of our roiling culture wars around sexuality into the realm of boycotts and economic warfare?
