To my surprise I received a call from the News Tribune Friday afternoon informing me that a complaint had been filed by the Americans for the Separation of Church and State to the Obama Administration asking that a $350,000 grant to the Rescue Mission for our Adams St. Family Campus be revoked.
Here is the article on the News Tribune website
While I’m not going to respond officially to the complaint unless asked to by the Administration, I do have a few thoughts on the subject.
1. Christians must not be discriminated against. We have just as much right to build shelters for homeless families as any other group and any suggestion otherwise must be challenged.
2. Providing we abide by the rules/laws of such funding, we should be able to apply and use public funds when we provide a public service, which we most certainly do.
You can see my other responses to the charges in the article linked. Tell me what you think.
