Grassley vs. the Megachurch

If you haven't heard already, Senator Charles Grassley is taking on the biggest churches in the US, asking probing questions about their finances and whether these megachurches should be allowed to retain their non-profit status. I rejoice in this in one way, though it's a sad day when a government has to hold the church morally accountable. Is this just a case of poor leadership, gullible congregations, or is the problem all of us who have not done a good enough job holding our brothers and sisters accountable?

Either way, NPR has a good write-up about the whole story, as well as their usual audio. Listen and enjoy.

Peace,
Matt
