I stipulate to your church's good intentions.

Also to the good results.

It still doesn't answer the issue of equal opportunity.

If the only people you help are those who you can afford to help who otherwise meet your conditions, that means a significant number of people, many of them children, will never be helped by private charity. That's just the opposite of equal opportunity.

What do you propose for them?

I grant you that the Federal government doesn't know details about local communities. That's still no reason to fight government funding of services that benefit children because it's the government.

Before you suggest that churches get Federal money, please remember the First Amendment. Either all of us drop the First, or you drop your conditions insofar as they don't comply with it. I'm holding on to the First with both hands.
