I bet if some of those folks went and got jobs they could afford a place to stay.

I'm just sayin'...

Homeless shelters must get paid by the government for a “daily head count”...like at the schools.

Make no mistake: This is merely to make the churches look bad and the GubbaMint look “better”. Can’t have those irritating Christians being able to say they help the homeless, after all.

a city rule requiring faith-based shelters to be open at least five days a week or not at all.

Gubbermint strikes again.

I think its time for these churches to tell the City of New York to drop dead. A government may not restrict the free exercise of religion - and one of the tenants of the Christian faith is helping those in need. New York City - drop dead.

I daresay this is a First Amendment violation.

What about the so called “separation of church and state.” The Rats are always shoving that one down our throats.

Interesting. You’d think with all the global warming going on there’d be no problems with homeless people freezing to death.

Typical NYC politics. So would they rather have churches doing this or the City? So the city can get millions in homeless grants from the gubmint. That’s what this all boils down to.

Maybe Bloomberg ought to sleep on the sidewalks with the homeless.

Thomas Sowell once mentioned in a book that there are more abandoned housing units in New York City than there are homeless people.

The government was trying to pull the same kind of thing on churches that were feeding the homeless. The government was requiring the churches to have commercial-grade kitchens, which most churches couldn’t afford.

Keep your doors closed and let the homeless freeze to death??? I would tell NYC to stick it where the sun dont shine. Christ commands us to help those in need. The Church of Christ must always be ready to help those in need.
