LETTER: A challenge for churches in Sidney

After reading the article on the group from St Andrew’s Church challenging Sidney mayor and council to spend the night in the cold, I have a challenge for this church and all the churches in Sidney and beyond. Why don’t they look into opening a warming shelter themselves?

Do they not have the facilities, such a washrooms and kitchens, along with space sitting empty overnight? Perhaps they could start the process by contacting Broadview Church in Saanich, which has been able to open a warming shelter for this winter. After all, wouldn’t this be the Christian thing to do?
