Christians trying to feed the homeless run up against the urban bureaucrats who want to funnel all volunteer feeding efforts through one central city-controlled site—of all the reasons the city might want to do so (and there are a lot of them) this one leaped out at me:
“By requiring that all food be served at the site, Takami said the city can control the nutritional value of what the homeless eat”
God forbid you offer the homeless some french fries. Or if God doesn’t, Seattle wants to.
Seattle isn’t forbidding Christians from doing anything, it’s forbidding anyone, regardless of faith, from feeding the homeless in a specific place.
