Subject: RE: BS: Religious child abuse
It always amazes me how, in what is here a relatively poor area, the ministers of certain churches dress better than many rock stars. They drive BMWs and have 5 bedroom houses bought from donations by their congregations. I spoke to one of the ministers after noticing that he'd got a new car. He said that his congregation expected him to live in style, but I couldn't help noticing that a lot of his flock were barely scraping by and the rent he owed us (an Anglican church hiring out the church hall) was 6 months in arrears.

I didn't watch the programme in question because I knew I'd have the same feelings as theleveller above... people do the worst things in God's name.
