<description>Slog tipper Russ alerts us to the ongoing call for help—be it money, real estate, or prayer—from Ken Hutcherson&apos;s Antioch Bible Church: Dear Church, 1. The Elder Board decided not to move forward on the Canyon Park location. 2. We are continuing to explore all our options for a 24/7 long-term facility which includes the Kirkland location that has been mentioned the last two Sundays. 3. We also are looking for a short term location to allow us to carry on our present services and programs. 4.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Hutch,</p>

<p>I am Praying Fervently for the Swift Resolution to your Homeless Problem.  If you feel it would benefit Our Almighty Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ, I will also Do The Rosary to Aid in Our Great Search.  Since the solution Requires Prayer, I shall further Send An Email in the Name of Our Great Father, Son, and Holy Ghost asking Others to Pray with Us.  Should this Grand Effort yet be Thwarted by the Unmentionable, I Propose that we Offer to Our Passionate Mother and Immaculate Virgin the Promise of Fidelity Ourselves, demonstrated by the Grand Sacrifice to be Offered by Mr. Hutch to Sequester himself for Many Decades at the Fantastic Monastery located in the Jungles of Chile.  Our Many Prayers and Wishes shall be with Him.</p>

<p>Amen,</p>

<p>-Your Devoted Servant</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm really curious about the details of their financials.  How much does the church spend on staff salaries?  How much does Hutch personally make off of the church?  How many "elders" have lucrative consulting or service contracts with the church?</p>

<p>How much of church funds actually go to worthwhile things, like helping people?</p>

<p>I'm guessing that hutch easily makes $150k, and that less than 5% of church revenue goes into good works.   </p>

<p>Perhaps the great godly leader would cut his salary in half, thus letting them lease a nice space to continue to shear the sheep.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@7, there are organizations that do special auditing of church finances according to Christian principles and offer advice on how to better serve the mission. Almost none of the high-profile churches you hear about in the media belong to such organizations, since their primary goal is collecting moolah. I very much doubt Antioch belongs to one, either.</p>]]></description>
