I recall back in the early 90's I had returned from a poor return on seining one season and was absolutely destitute. I had to stay in one of those horrid church sponsored shelters and remember being turned away because they wanted me to pray and join in services at least twice a day and all i wanted was a job. Prayer only takes you so far, and I don't need to be in a church to pray, I can do it walking to a job interview, riding a bus to the job fair, or even praying quietly while listening to a potential employer. What is needed is action, and using the suffering of a person's situation to get them in the pews is not my idea of a system for all. What about the Buddhists and Muslims? How about Atheists and Agnostics? Do we turn them away as well because they don't want to pray with self-aggrandizing Christians? No. The answer is that we need more and more useful programs. The article doesn't say the man didn't want help, it says that he didn't fit in any of the categories.
