This will soon be happening with all religious real estate tax exemptions as it did with zoning regulations. The only exemptions will be for secular non-profits and education institutions.

In Pittsburgh, since they can't go after the education institutions, they are going after the students.

Here in Iowa, they tried to go after non profits by taxing rain water run off.

What was funny is that a group of trustee's for a historical cemetery sued saying “What do you want us to do, dig them up?”.

The Iowa courts have suspended the fees for now. But I figure it will start again soon.

Oh well, the Church is much more than the building. Something we in the West have often forgotten.
