people can, but most of us just slink away and say 'ok, you can have it', instead of fighting for our churches.
IMO, fighting for buildings is a waste of time. Fighting for truth is never a waste.
The body of Christ does not need a fancy building to be what it’s supposed to be and function as it’s supposed to function in this world.
Just as in Europe, many of America’s fancy churches will become simple tourist attractions, with tours to explain the architecture, artwork and so on.
But the body of Christ will still be alive and kicking, even if it’s “underground.”
