I remember reading somewhere that the LDS church refuses to apply for faith-based initiative grants from the US government for fear that the government will begin to have too much influence on the church. I couldn't find the reference now, so if someone can confirm this I'd appreciate it.
While watching the psuedo-debate put on by Pastor (or Reverend? I've seen it reported both ways) Rick Warren over the weekend, I began to ponder the concept of government funding of faith-based initiatives, and came to this question:
If the charitable cause cannot be funded by the efforts of the people sitting in the pews, and instead needs to be funded by tax payers, can it really be called "faith-based?"

Hi
I stumbled across your blog on LDS BLOGS. I thought you mighe be interested in a site my wife and I just built called MormonsMadeSimple.com, which uses simple, explanatory videos to explain the Mormon faith. Feel free to feature any of these videos on your blog, or just share them with non-member friends. We're hoping these videos will be missionary tools to help members share their beliefs. Anyway, sorry to spam your comments section. I couldn't find any contact information for you on your blog.

PASS THIS ON TO YOUR HAWAII BROTHERS!!
The Gulenists are starting their infestation of Hawaii by working on taking over Mokapu Elementary, a school on a Marine Base on Oahu. Their new Gulen charter school will be called the Mokapu STEM School. You can bet the community in Hawaii DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE!
Kazim Z. Gumus who used to work at a TX Harmony school is on the board of the new school, along w/three people affiliated w/Daisy-SSA-Paragon.
Their proposal demonstrates that this is an expansion of Daisy Education Corporation, the AZ entity that operates the Sonoran Science Academy schools and is also tied at the hip to Paragon Education Corporation (operates Paragon Science Academy). The proposal also explains how the school will be purchasing services from their Gulenist associates at the Accord Institute of Educational Research.
If you look at the 990's for each of these organizations, you'll see that every single person has a Turkish name -- that's b/c they are all Gulenist buddies.
H1B visas for Daisy + SSA + Paragon (they operated only 6 charter schools in this time frame):
2001 - 1
2002 - 2
2003 - 3
2004 - 9
2005 - 6
2006 - 6
2007 - 23
2008 - 39
2009 - 69
TOTAL = 149 + 4 Green Cards
Accord applied for 19 H1B visas + 1 Green Card

In it something is. Earlier I thought differently, many thanks for the information.
I advise to you to look a site on which there is a lot of information on this question.
Many thanks how I can thank you?
I consider, that you are not right. I can defend the position.
I am sorry, that has interfered... But this theme is very close to me. Write in PM.

I drop a leave a response each time I like a post on a
website or I have something to contribute to the conversation.
Usually it's triggered by the fire communicated in the article I looked at. And after this post "Faith-Based Initiatives". I was excited enough to drop a thought :-) I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright.
Could it be only me or do some of these responses come across as if
they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online social sites, I would like to keep
up with everything new you have to post. Would you list all of all your communal pages like your
Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
