There used to be this joke we'd tell each other: A Muslim goes to stay at a Baptist homeless shelter...The sad thing is it's a real predicament of anyone having a different faith to enter another sect or religious shelter and expect the ability to thrive in programs that are based on conversion.
They say it's not the case, but read the print on the websites. While Christian videos are a great asset themselves for communicating a really appropriate message, they're only truly experienced and can be cherished by someone having a choice.
Requiring someone to accept another's belief system and values, especially of the religious kind as a requirement for providing services, isn't right.
Have you ever heard of a Wiccan becoming stable from homelessness through a Baptist shelter program? Or a Muslim? Or a Jew?
Doubtful.
