The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland

Christians Against Poverty

At the present time The Open Episcopal Church in Scotland is unable to continue recommending the work of Christians Against Poverty and withdraws its support for that organisation

After they were contacted by Jonathan Clive Blake, who made false but serious allegations against our church and bishop, they decided that they would rather not become involved in inter church feuding of such a vicious and intimidating nature. We are disappointed that they chose to withdraw from partnership with us on the basis of these false claims by Jonathan Blake that he is in charge of this registered charity and has authority when he has none and the damage done to the reputations of both ours and Jonathan Blake's church is enormous. We would point out that we are a legitimate registered charity with formal constitution and a statutory requirement to follow closely the requirements of the Charities Act. Jonathan Blake, on the other hand, chooses to run an organisation that has no legal basis for its existence nor any regard for compliance with regulatory authorities as is being proven by his continuing public attacks on us
