Okay, Scaeagles, so we screen the church entities that wish to participate. For what? To see if they are breaking any laws regarding equal rights, discrimination, etc? Few churches could pass that test. The Salvation Army has a policy in place barring employment of gay persons. (Or they did). Would their refusal to hire gays negate any government contracts? What about the actual ministering- would it be only to a particular churches' congregation, or like-minded people, or to the general public? (There goes a few more churches I can think of). Would they proselytize while they were doing it? Would they even be allowed to? Too many questions, and then don't even get me going on the type of governmental agency that would be created to oversee this whole mess.
And in the end, would there be enough to address the need out there? I doubt it.
