Property is nice, but it's not the end-all be-all. A parish whose existence is centered on its property is a parish with a problem...

Right, let's just hold communion in a cardboard box under a bridge. Property...we don't need no stinkin' property.

But beyond the property, a question: You talk about "send their money to Muslims" (implied: waste). Are you opposed to outreach and evangelism programs? Do you think Muslims are unable to hear the Gospel?

Rather than implying it, let me say it directly: Sending money to Muslims is a waste. As for Muslims hearing the Gospel, you might want to ask some Orthodox Christians or Coptic Christians who have been suffering under those sensitve Muslims for 14 centuries about how Muslims hear and respond so wonderfully to the Gospel.

Your compassion is truly remarkable! Your expressed disdain for Muslims does not reflect true Christianity. Jesus commanded his followers to go and preach the good news to every creature...that includes Muslims. Like it or not, many Muslims are more receptive than those who were "born" into the church. Many pews are filled on Sunday with unbelievers who dress up like christians.

You appear to have a fascination for the almighty dollar and the things it can buy, including fancy church buildings and those who worship same. Do you declare yourself to be a Christian?
