Thank you. For many to have any concern about loosing it is really absurd, a lack of writing it down and thinking it through.....taxes are on profits and real estate. There would not be any "profit" once all the widows and orphans had been cared for.

A large percentage of congregations use properties that are small and older. (Not to mention the churches that rent a place, is that rented slot in the strip mall excluded from property taxes while the tenant is a church?).

There are many in low cost areas of their towns and counties, so the value of the facilities would not be exuberant.

The pastor is already bi-vocational.

It is like you have observed, vocations in the business of religion. Further, by people that have been trained in the secular education system for 13 to 17 years to not challenge the "system".....not really what you want for someone that can stand between you and a lake of fire.
