A church in California which had been banned by the government from giving food to the needy because it wouldn’t change its policy on sexual ethics has been allowed to continue.
The Californian Department of Social Services has now overturned its decision to ban the Church of Compassion from participating in the government scheme.
It means the church, which runs Dayspring Christian Learning Center, remains free to provide meals under the federal food programme.
Previously, Californian state officials had tried to force the implementation of new ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ anti-discrimination requirements.
