No prayer, no meal: Shelters turning away government food due to new worship rules

Bethesda Mission in Harrisburg does not believe the government should regulate how it worships and gives food to the homeless. So the Christian-based organization and others are refusing to accept food from the federal government. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies published a new regulation in March that bans organizations receiving food from the federal government from requiring people being given food to attend or participate in religious activities. Faith-based organizations are upset about the new rule they say infringes on their ability to worship.
