CLEVELAND (AP) – The city of Cleveland is at odds with a church over the housing of homeless people.

The Plain Dealer reports that the Cleveland Division of Fire recently placed a cease use notice on the Denison Avenue United Church of Christ. The newspaper says the Metanoia Project nonprofit opened a hospitality center for homeless people at the church, offering services that include sleeping cots.

This news comes out the same day they are getting beaten by the 1-14 Bengals. It’s like it just never ends for this city.

The mayor is a donkey.

I suspect the majority of the city council are donkeys.

Often when I see that the UCC is involved in news it’s cringe worthy ... but I guess as they were probably providing bathrooms for their homeless guests they come out smelling better than some of their fellow Democrats.

Eeek!

Churches are kidnapping & feeding politically incorrect Christian indoctrination to the poor who rightfully belong under government control!

This cannot be tolerated!

OH: City Tells Church it Will Lose Religious Designation Because it Shelters Homeless People

Buena Park, CA had the Rev. Wiley Drake, yup the very same man of God that prayed for the death of Obama(yes many did, but a supposed Reverend) and he wanted to help the homeless, problem was he thought he and his church were above silly things like health laws, building codes and zoning ordinances. The city bent over backwards trying to work with him but he just blew them off......servant of the Lord ya know. The city, I believe finally took him to court and shut down his 'homeless shelter'.

I know many residents around the church were fed up with the trash, drug use and increased crime in the area.
