Megachurches, which pack in thousands for rousing Sunday worship services, are popular in suburbs in the United States. Most are evangelical or Pentecostal, with few or no ties to mainline churches such as the Lutherans or Episcopalians.

Reminds me of the "encounter" with a "pastor" of one such "flock" in central Florida. The "church" got a few acres in our rural area and is putting up a HUGE CONCRETE MONSTROSITY TOTALLY out of character with all other COMMERCIAL structures in the area which have taken care to retain a "Country Look".

The "pastor" when approached concerning his plans for his COMMERCIAL AUDITORIUM POSING AS A "CHURCH" and asked whether he could conform with the character of buildings in the area replied... "IF YOU CAUSE US ANY PROBLEMS WE WILL SUE YOUR ASSES INTO BANKRUPTCY!!!

Personally, I hope that his venture is swallowed up by a sinkhole as an act of God!!!

I missed the part in the Bible that set zoning and occupancy requirements for Christian churches.
