Cities Wage War On Churches Feeding The Homeless Just In Time For Thanksgiving
Story by Derek VanBuskirk • 20h

Local governments across the country are using niche regulations to pursue legal action against churches that have long provided aid to the needy in their communities.

These legal fights drain churches of years and capital, while those who depend on their charity face holidays cold and hungry.
 
For 15 years, City Church in Fairfield, California, has offered food, shelter, job training, medical care and addiction recovery programs to its community. But a week before Thanksgiving last year, the city told the church it must pay thousands of dollars in fines and penalties before resuming services, according to the church’s attorneys at the Pacific Justice Institute.

Charity was once the provenance of the Churches, but now that the State has its fingers in the pie, it wants to kick the Churches out.

State forbid that a mention of God might come along with some actual Christian Charity.

If I decide to give of all the Lord has blessed me and mine with, that's charity.

If the State takes the money from me via taxation (at gunpoint, ultimately), it's reallocation of wealth by force, not 'charity'. More like robbery.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It has more to do with political retribution, or issues with housing homeless on church property.
