Two years ago, the City of Florence attempted to donate 100K to the Salvationist Church to build a bigger, better shelter for the homeless. It met with resistance from many sectors. Now they're at it again, attempting to add more funding to this ill-advised project.
Would the city please address questions of rape and sex discrimination at the Florence church? How about their semi-public stance on gays? Roy Moore would fit right in.
Attn: Baptist Church, Methodist Church, Church of Christ, Presbyterian Church - Be sure to ask for your fair share as well. Every day, the Salvationist Church is exposed more and more. Ask yourself if you support even 25% of what this religious group does. Don't be fooled; research it yourself.

Some years ago, a Lions Club in northwest Alabama discovered its entire treasury of around $5,000.00 had just disappeared. Many had some very derogatory words about the club's treasurer. One older gentleman was heard to have commented not on the embezzler, but questioned why this club had that much money on hand when there were those who needed the funds for vision expenses.
Consider this: In August 2021, according to Charity Intelligence, the S.A. in Canada had 1.1 BILLION Canadian dollars in investments. (We're researching how much is held by the church in the U.S.)
Do you realize how much one billion dollars is? Why isn't most of this money being put to use to help those the church claims to love and care for?
