I don't think that privately funded homeless shelters are the same as nursing facilities. However, when that person was removed what was his reaction? Did he want to stay? Why is it up to you to right the wrong of someone else that is capable of speaking for themselves?

This was someone who was homeless and mentally ill and he was removed because he was Jewish and didn't want to say a prayer to Jesus as his Lord and Saviour.
Most homeless people want to stay in the shelter instead of on the street. He was forced into the street for the night. It was the next day I encountered him and found him a new shelter.
And it was my job since I worked at a mental health center for the homeless.
Now, like I said, Wheeler is a private facility, so they can do as they wish.
I personally don't find it very Christian at all to withhold a meal or shelter if someone has a different religion.
In fact, being inhospitable to those in need was pretty looked down upon by Jesus, I believe.
