I am a Red Cross volunteer, and there are several reasons we don't accept random donations–

There is usually not enough of one thing for everyone, which can lead to fights and charges of favoritism.
As others have pointed out, people will sue us if we give out something that was tainted–and then there would be no resources left after a lawsuit.

All volunteers have to pass a criminal background check–after Katrina, we don't take chances.

And no, we are not a Christian organization.

If you want to know how the Red Cross–or any other organizatin operates–go see. Don't just assume.

I don't think Shauns intentions and heart are ridiculous, he loves his friends who are not Christians (What Jesus would do) and wants them to be accepted by the group he identifies himself with…….. "Christians"…… In this case it back fired on him…….strike 4,567,788 against Christians…… Frustrating! "You will never have influence over anything, or anyone you reject" – Jeff Jackson

What would you do?

I agree with RG's post……… we have a culture problem…. so many Americans want to "get theirs" that its clogged up the whole system of what this country was built on.
We are no longer "One nation under God" We are a bunch of individuals who want to get whats owed to them, simply because someone else has more that means they must be entitled!
What crap……
People need to get over themselves…… will that happen, not likely.
This discussion is getting me fired up……
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for your perspective Rochelle. I have a great deal of respect for the SP Vision. I guess I just hated to see our volunteers crushed more than I love the SP vision.

Does that make sense?

Through your crisis someone loved on you anyway right? At least enough to present to you the gospel and it's truth . . . what if you had to sign something first that required you to be on board for God first. Shaun is just telling the truth many of us know as one of the reasons people are 'tired' of church for. Yes SP rocks and they are winning souls to Christ and as christians we can be happy about that- but when we see a potential crack in the vessel can we say something about it?
