| Red Cross Demands Branches Remove Crucifixes to Be More Secular |
| 2017-12-04 |
| [Breitbart] Volunteers have criticised the Red Cross charity after receiving a communication telling them to remove crucifixes from the walls of their branches as the organisation looks to become more secular. The Belgian branches of the international aid organisation received an email from the Provincial Committee of the Red Cross in Liège to remove all crucifixes. André Rouffart, president of the Red Cross in Verviers, said: "We were asked to respect the principles of the Red Cross", and not to distinguish between race or religious belief 7sur7 reports. Mr. Rouffart said there had been pushback from volunteers and other members on the issue but downplayed the issue, saying: "I think it’s a storm in a teacup." Several volunteers spoke to Belgian broadcaster RTL and expressed hostility to the move, with one saying: "Let things remain as they are. We used to say ’Christmas holidays’, now it’s ’winter holidays’. The Christmas market in Brussels has become the ’Winter Pleasures’." And yet another reason my support goes to The Salvation Army. |
