On Tuesday, the City Council voted 13-1 to fund Central Dallas Ministries‘ rehab of a downtown building in which it intends to house low-income and homeless residents. Only council member Mitchell Rasansky voted against the project, which was no surprise; the guy was intensely vocal about the subject at a council meeting two weeks ago, to the head-shaking chagrin of his colleagues. But the $23 million project is a divisive thing even among the faithful and God-fearing: Here’s a pretty good piece on the subject from the Associated Baptist Press that clearly defines the issues at at hand without damning either side. Wouldn’t expect it any other way. –Robert Wilonsky
