Your Church And Eminemt Domain
Well here's something to think about while the Supreme Court's Kelo v. New London ruling is still fresh in your mind, http://www.cnsnews.com//ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200507/NAT20050715a.html . Just suppose a wealthy land developer in your area was thinking about putting in a new strip mall that would house about 20 shops where you could get just about anything you could possibly need. The only thing standing in his way is the fact that the tax exempt church which you attend regularly is setting on the property the developer would like to build on. I wonder if the developer would be allowed to bulldoze the tax exempt church to build his mall and bring in the much needed tax revenue. Don't forget this mall is going create a lot of jobs for people that can't afford the things they will be able to get at the mall. I don't know about you, but I feel there is something I can get at that church that is much more important than any of the Chinese made products I could get at the mall.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

I have a similar article in my blog. The Kalo Decision could be devistating to churches and non profit organizations. It could be used by activist groups to sieze the property of thier political enemies. Visit my blog and read "Make Way For Wal-Mart" At http://brutus1964.blogspot.com
Based on the Supreme Courts ruling, I dont see why not.
However, we could just make churches pay taxes, that would be one way to solve the problem.
The developer may find other place in the church or may be one stall in the mall is for the church. People thinking of money money money. But... they can't bring it in heaven. See http://assistedlivinglittlerockarkansas.com
