Green, above, has for years been attacking LGBT+ communities via his hate-filled Christian Voice blog and elsewhere, so how, one has to ask, did The National Council for Christian Standards in Society, a registered charity, choose to link itself with the Green’s site?
The answer, we discovered today, is because Green, a vicious lunatic who has called for the death penalty for homosexuality, is one of three trustees of the charity, which has found itself in hot water with the Charity Commission.
Rationalwiki says this of Green:
On the home front, Green maintains his Christian sense of moral justice — equitably beating both his wife and his children bloody (nearly breaking his son’s arm), finally saving the sweet, sweet rape for just his wife. Just like Jesus would have done.
According the Commission’s report the Council, established in 1986 to “promote religion and religious education”, had been warned to separate its charitable work from the political lobbying activities of Christian Voice, a connected, non-charitable body.
The trustees, it found, did not take sufficient steps to act on this advice, which has led the regulator to now issue an Official Warning.
The Official Warning sets out actions the charity’s trustees need to take to rectify the misconduct and/or mismanagement, including acting on previous advice. The regulator has also identified that the charity needs to amend its ambiguous purposes to ensure they are exclusively charitable. Failing to take remedial steps to address issues identified by the regulator can result in the charity facing further regulatory action.
Tracy Howarth, Assistant Director for Casework at the Charity Commission, said:
It’s clear this charity has not taken our previous advice on board and so we have issued an Official Warning with the expectation that changes are made at pace. When carrying out any activity, trustees must consider how it helps meet their charitable purposes and if they are acting within charity law. We, and the public, expect this of charities as a minimum. This intervention should serve as a reminder for all trustees to take any advice and guidance they receive from us seriously. As regulator, we issue guidance to help trustees ensure their charity is run well to deliver for beneficiaries. If we step in, we’re giving advice to help avoid further regulatory action.

Good to hear that the Commission is taking the National Council for Christian Standards in Society to task for this blunder (or underhanded attempt?) to link itself with Stephen Green’s poisonous Christian Voice blog. Clearly, Green is sufficiently extreme to warrant being banned from the trusteeship of a UK registered charity, so should be removed from the board of NCCSS trustees, forthwith. We already have Muslim jihadis worming their way into registered charities and the Commission must be no less robust in identifying and removing those individuals too.
