Via the Daily Mail:
One of [Britain’s] best-known charities has changed its name, losing the clearest link to its Christian roots. Bosses say the name was chosen to reflect the fact that 51 per cent of people are female and that they can use the charity as a platform ‘to have their say’ and ‘to move to the next stage of their lives’.
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’.
Good grief.
So will they be moving their headquarters to Area 51?
@Susan:
Or Park51?
@Meng:
Possibly. Or Planet 51.
