With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

The Christian Post reported recently that the Bank of America closed the accounts of

indigenous advanced ministries, a Christian nonprofit whose goal is discipleship and business

training for young Ugandans.

The bank denies closing the accounts based on the ministry's religious beliefs, but because

of the kind of debt collection business it has in Uganda.

Still, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Jeremy Tedesco points out that under an Obama

era policy, many large banks have leveraged risk tolerance policies to box out disfavored

but legal business operations.

Often that means conservative and Christian groups.

There are unknowns involved in this particular case, but debanking is a very real threat to

religious organizations.

There are already too many examples for all of them to just be coincidence.

Some institutions even refuse to allow charitable gifts to be made to subgroups through a donor

advice fund.

Consider where you bank and how those institutions see Christian organizations, churches,

and mission groups and nonprofits for the Colson Center on John Stone Street.
