According to The Blaze, this happened:
Wounded Warrior Project is refusing to accept a Florida Christian church’s money because it is “religious in nature,” Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports. Liberty Baptist Church and Academy, located in Fort Pierce, Fla., is also a K-12 school.
“We were heartbroken,” Pastor Wallace Cooley told Fox News.
It wasn’t until after Liberty Baptist Church and Academy had already paid a $100 registration fee to raise funds for Wounded Warrior Project that the they received an email from the non-profit organization.
Ugh. If this is one of their rules, I have to say it’s pretty lousy.
That’s a part of the letter sent to the church. Even if you’re anti-religion, you have to admit that churches do a lot of good things. This would definitely fall into the good category.
My suggestion is for this church to find another charity for wounded veterans and donate to them.
