The message was the same. As DiIulio sees it, churches and other community groups are on the front lines of poverty. They know who needs help in their own neighborhoods. They know how to reach the troubled, the homeless and the drug addicted far better than does the government. For that reason, religious groups and philanthropic organizations should be the ones leading government, DiIulio said.
Government is lost and private philanthropy is lost right along with it dollar for dollar.
We believe as part of our faith that the government shouldn't interfere with our religion and we shouldn't expect government to fund us. Put simply, Land fears that government will attach strings to its money. And he is fearful of discrimination. By far, the most controversial aspect is allowing faith-based groups to compete for federal funds. This is hardly a new concept.
