Church Sacrifices Tiffany Window to Keep Door Open for the Homeless

After 10 minutes of commercials I give up. Still haven’t seen the video for this.

Perhaps some never able to spend all of their money rock star, movie star, or sports figure, who one always hears and sees how they profess their love of their god, will fund this program, as this is truly Gods work. There are others out there as well who could, in one fell swoop, solve this funding dilemma for this much needed program.
The window should stay with the church.

The Catholic Church in Rhode Island has been dismantling churches in poor areas in a similar way over the last decade. The best bits of Notre Dame parish in Central Falls was picked over bit by bit were scuttled away with one excuse or another. First the beautiful stained glass windows, which the parishioners were told were old and drafty, were replaced with cheap colored glass. Then the magnificent pipe organ was whisked away and replaced with a cheap electric organ. Then the church pleaded poverty and hit up the elderly parishioners for hefty capital fund campaign contributions to shore up the foundation. Finally they closed the church, desecrated it, and sold it to another church for a few million. The cash from the sale was put into a nearby parish in a wealthier community. The religious statuary of the century-old church was quietly sold at an unpublished auction and mostly scarfed up by local dealers who dispersed it to the four winds.
Almost forgot – before the church was sold it was “merged” with the wealthier community.
In God We Trust – All Others, Pay Cash.

this touches me greatly, but where was the church when things began to dissaray? and how many couldnt or didnt benefit from the homeless shelter sooner. also wonder who the “have” is that will purchase this and feel noble, when the “have nots” are supposed to feel gratitude and thankfulness at the glory of their higher powers??

At this time of the year it is always nice to hear of these kid of stories.
Mankind is kind when it counts.

Looting of America’s economy by the NWO government Wall Street Insiders, International Banksters and War Profiteers destroyed the jobs and put these people on the street. This government and Corporate American corruption has been looked upon as success and the roll model for prosperity hype deceivers who have polluted the pulpits of America. It is so refreshing to see some Church groups waking up out of the prosperity hype delusion and actually doing something as Christ would do.

I spent more than a little time getting in here hoping to find an address for this Burlington Church, which should have been included in the TV report. No such luck. What’s the point of reporting something like this if you don’t include info so people can help?

I live in a small community just north of Brattleboro, VT. I knew the church helped the homeless but I did not know the need of the church. I will gladly send them some money knowing that I am supporting what is considered a ‘community’ shelter. See, up here with towns being small and the distance being far to shelters, my town doesn’t have a place for feeding and sheltering of the homeless or poor. They go to other towns for such help. But what we don’t have here physically I like to believe we make up for with kindness. We help those less fortunate although our town is considered among the less fortunate. If we can’t donate money, we donate food or time. We are the helping hand, the shoulder to cry on, we are the neighbors down the street, around the corner or next door.
I would hope that someone with wealth that far exceeds what can be found in my wallet, my neighbors wallet or the church coffers would come to the ‘rescue’ of this window. Let it remain in the church and set up a continuing fund to keep the homeless fed and sheltered in this small community and the towns that surround it. This is the real challenge. We know that the many pockets of those who can barely afford to keep themselves housed and fed will donate. But what about the person or persons who have more to give? Are they willing to step up and help out? My check is in the mail, is yours?

Christmas is sharing. How can I help?
Forget complaining about others, look inward and ask, “What can I do?”

how is this a miracle. the word miracle is used so much for nothing that i dont even know what this article is supposed to be suggesting. what a moronic piece of journalism.

I too had problems viewing the video. That being said, where can I send a donation, and how else can I help?

If the church puts the windows into Ebay Auction,I think they will get more money.

we need have faith for our God.money is not the only way to solve the pro. let us pray for the church ang homeless together.
