A Christian ministry urged the Supreme Court to criminalize homelessness

13. the key here is "Converted". The Christian Nationalist and other

conservative groups/denominations believe they must convert every person they meet. So they want to be able to only serve those who have bowed down to their religious dictates.
I have heard this before about some of the church sponsored shelters here and there. Depends on the sponsoring groups.

Many churches require "conversion" to receive services and support from their outreach ministries. I belong to a United Methodist Church and our mission never turns anyone away. We have a food bank, a clothing bank, sack lunches and some assistance with navigating the system. No one is obligated to do anything remotely religious to receive services. We also distribute infant formula to mothers who have been approved for WIC but are in the holding pattern for that benefit to start. They are referred to us by WIC.

There are several other large churches in the area which offer services without a 'conversion' demand
