They are separate.
Your Church asked the government to get involved.
Your Church asked for money to serve the needs of a community.
Your Church promised to refrain from discriminatory practices in exchange for the money.
What a bunch of dishonest hypocrits!
The church wants tax money and exemption from paying taxes. It wants to benefit from a government contract, yet has no intention of keeping its end of the bargain. It wants public support without oversight. Yeesh!
If your religious leadership wants full separation from State, then the Church needs to get off the bus----and stay off!!!!
