An interesting story on the Associate Press wire this morning indicates that the US government's support of "faith based" charity has some issues in defining faith:
...in South Carolina, Crisis Ministries doesn’t consider itself religious at all. "Someone has obviously designated us a faith-based organization, but we don’t recognize ourselves as that," said Stacey Denaux, executive director of Crisis Ministries. Hers was one of many groups with entirely secular missions that were surprised to find their names on a list of faith-based groups provided to The Associated Press by the White House.It is good that a broad definition is being used as the point ought to be the outcome of assistance not the dance along the way....but I wonder..."Mission to the Generation"...that sounds good...where are those application forms?

I'm totally changing my business name to "The God People." Maybe the US government will screw up and give ME money, too.
