This doesn’t surprise me when I think of who the mayor of Houston is.

We just had an Historic church burn down. It had been condemned. The Preservationists refused to give in on knocking it down.
It cost a fireman his life.

Should the government be able to seize a churchs property and hand it over to some other business for raw economic gain and extra tax revenue?Henry VIII did it. Family story is that the ancestors got some swamp land in Ely for free that had been expropriated from the Catholic Church, though it obviously didn't help the family much, since a few generations later at least one of the descendants emigrated to VA as an indentured servant in 1636.

#BLACK CHURCHES MATTER!!!!
I can tell from the Church Names that these historic churches are African-American Denominations. We Christians of the Paler Persuasion should not forget our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who attend these churches.
BTW, where are the Black "Leaders"?

Houston must be relying on the landmark SCt case of Kelso Vs. City of New London which allowed government to take property and give it to private developer.
Are you Trumpster surprised to know that Donald Trump approved of this case and policy, no doubt because big real estate developers with ‘ins’ to government via “donations” receive favors back?
I believe, however, that Texas changed its eminent domain law to prevent this sort of crony capitalism favoritism by government.

Way back when I was taught to be a Christian, the Church was the people, and the building was only a building.
