About 25 years ago, a local RC Catholic Church (Church of Saint Thomas) burned down. The priest made the rounds of all the other Catholic churches in the area begging for a time slot for his congregation. He was refused by all. He even tried the Baptist, Episcopalian and Presbyterian churches. No luck. The Buddhists at the temple my wife goes to heard of their plight and without being asked, offered to host their services on Sunday mornings. Christians in the morning and Buddhists in the afternoon. They did this for a year and a half while the church was restored.
That was the event that made me give up on Christian churches. Too much attention to money and not enough to religion.
IMHO, welfare is the churchs FIRST priority but turning that over to the gummint meant bigger and nicer churches which is a small part of our many problems.
