Feeding the Homeless is Wrong (in certain areas)
In Northern Phoenix it is now being determined whether feeding the local homeless at Cross Roads United Methodist Church is legal or not. This decision is to be made by zoning hearing officer because it depends if the charity is classified as proper use of a place of worship. All of this should be over next month when the officer makes a final decision. Many people are opposed to the idea so hopefully the right decision will be made and the church will continue to help those in need. It seems ridiculous that charity zoning should even be questioned at any level of government. I'm sure that the church will be allowed to feed the homeless and this was just a question of paperwork rather than rights, but it must have been funny to see over 250 church goers quoting their constitutional religious rights and scripture at a protest. However, the lesson to be learned from this situation is if you have to be homeless at least live in area that won't question giving you food.
