The Co-op: Bad with money<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Co-op Bank that told Christian Voice at a moment’s notice to take its business elsewhere has losses of \u00a31.3bn.<\/p>\n

The Co-operative Bank\u00a0confirmed the figure earlier today<\/a><\/strong>. The ‘ethical’ bank does not expect to make a profit for the next two years.<\/p>\n

In April 2012,\u00a0The Coop supermarket chain decided not to source Israeli goods from the so-called \u201coccupied territories\u201d<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 It is committed however to buying from elsewhere in Israel.<\/p>\n

But our main concern about the Co-op bank itself is the way it discriminates strongly against those Christians who take their faith seriously.\u00a0 See:\u00a0http:\/\/www.repentuk.com\/coop.html<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2005, the Co-operative Bank objected to Christian Voice banking with them.\u00a0 The \u2018ethical\u2019 bank, who claim not to discriminate, told Christian Voice that we should take our banking elsewhere because our Christian beliefs lead us to oppose homosexual rights and homosexual practice.\u00a0\u00a0The Co-op group is strongly pro-homosexual, sponsoring 15 gay pride events in 2012, more than any other company<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They continued to sponsor Manchester Pride in 2013<\/a><\/strong> as the scale of the group’s financial disaster unfolded.<\/p>\n

Although it will be their ineptitude as a financial institution<\/a><\/strong> which will make all the headlines, if the bank had followed Christian principles of diligence when it took over Brittania Building Society, if it had followed the Biblical advice to choose able men such as fear God to run it, rather than a homosexual drug-taker, if it had noticed that the Bible says ‘thou shalt not steal’ before overcharging mortgagees and those mis-sold payment protection insurance and interest rate hedging products, if its bosses had not succumbed to pride and greed when wanting to take over TSB branches from Lloyds, it would not be in the position it is now.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Co-op had concentrated more on balancing the books according to Christian principles and less on politically-correct posturing it would not be in the mess it is in today.<\/span><\/p>\n
