UK: YWCA drops “Christian” from its name

From here:

One of the country’s best-known charities has changed its name, losing the clearest link to its Christian roots.

The Young Women’s Christian Association has dropped its historic title after 156 years because ‘it no longer stands for who we are’.

Instead the organisation – which is mainly funded by legacies left by Christian supporters over 15 decades – will be known as ‘Platform 51’……

Its chairman is gay rights activist and former equality quango manager Helen Wollaston.

It seems to be turning into the Anglican Church.

One thought on “UK: YWCA drops “Christian” from its name

  1. The Christian aspect of both the YWCA and YMCA have been absent for quite some time. Go into any local YMCA/YWCA and just try to find any Christian literature or any Christian symbols.
