Not rendering unto Cesar
This one is hard to believe. Its like a story out of the Onion. The SJ-R reports in their latest breaking news that:
Just before 10 a.m. this morning, officials with the Sangamon County Sheriff broke down the door at 1016 Percy and evicted Clementine Memorial Presbyterian Church and its pastor from their property over what church officials say is a snafu over back taxes they should not owe.Its hard to imagine that something couldn't have been worked out before it got to this point. All I know is that somebody is going to hell over this.Bibles, musical instruments, chairs, tables and other church property were strewn about the property after the property's new owner, John W. Scott, took possession and ordered out the church and its pastor, Dennis Farmer. U-Haul trucks rented by the church were loaded up by parishioners and neighbors as sheriff's officials looked on.
