From a Government point of view, we have separation of church and state, which makes it wrong to force state tax-payers pay for tax exempt church repairs.
From a Christian point of view, I wouldn't want the money (if I was the church), because it could then open a case to revoke tax exemption status which opens a new can of worms.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I suppose you could look at it from a state reference point. Tax-exempt is Federal, while non-profit is state. Not all non-profits are tax-exempt either. Constitutionally is should be viewed by genre as opposed to organizations, I suppose.

Capt Gregory Prickett - As long as the government honors their side to not impede on religious decisions based on the church's doctrine, it could work. I don't think either side trusts the other though lol

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel it seems Justice Kavanaugh's feet hit the pavement running. I'm glad I don't have to tackle this because if the churches in question have a direct impact on History this could be sticky and tricky. One hundred years from now, how will history record the church in Durham NC that kept a Mexican man in safe sancutary to prevent him from being deported back to his country because he said he was being persecuted politically and his life was in danger? When he was tricked out of the church to get medical attention, ICE took him I to custody. Pretty tough.
