WWJD?

The Dickinson Press is reporting:

A church here that has been temporarily housing job-seekers while they get on their feet is being forced to end its lodging program this week, leaving about 30 men with nowhere to sleep.

Concordia Lutheran Church would need to remodel its building to add fire-protection sprinklers, showers for residents and other updates to meet building and fire codes, according to Williston city officials.

In a letter dated Aug. 12, city planning staff gave Concordia 30 days to discontinue the “overnighters” program until the facility can be brought up to code.

The Rev. Jay Reinke said the church doesn’t have the money to hire an architect and fulfill the city’s requirements. Friday will be the last night people can stay overnight at the church, said Reinke, adding that he is disappointed and saddened by the city’s actions.

Sad commentary on my hometown.

I would love CLR to step up to the plate, install the fire-protection sprinklers, and the showers.
