Well, call me a hardhearted so-and-so, but I don't see (1) what this has to do with clerical child abuse, (2) what excatly 'under the Preble Street umbrella' means if, as you say, the shelter has no control over the advocacy group. They are either affiliated or they are not.

Runaway teens should be returned to their parents, unless of course they are being physically abused. If they simply don't like the standards of behavior their parents impose, they should seek legal emancipation, in which case they would be expected to be self-sustaining like any adult.

It seems to me that any church or religious body should be free to fund or not to fund as they wish.
