Voices: Still ashamed
In reading the Globe (May 4), I am surprised at the difference of opinions concerning the City of Refuge Ministries.
My take on the situation is that probably the best solution would have been for the city of Joplin and some volunteers to fix and repair the building they were already in. The people were already set up for ministries — kitchen facilities and sleeping quarters.
It makes no sense for Dan Anderson to have to buy a building and have a note to pay each month and move people and set up again. Our city leaders should not have decided that there would be no sleeping quarters there. People have to sleep somewhere.
We need more facilities anyway. Of course, the city would help these people get jobs so they could get into housing and pay their own way. I say our leaders should help these people. After all, that’s what Jesus would do.
