Church's cash handout part of 'faith stimulus' Jul 2, 2009
The Rev. David Eberhard, pastor of the 1,500-member Historic Trinity Lutheran Church in inner-city Detroit, said the project at the south Alabama church is "great if they've got the money.". But he said "handing money out to people you don't know -- and you don't know if they have a need -- may not be the answer. As soon as word gets out there's money free, everybody lines up. Churches tend to become gullible because they want to do good. They do good, but they don't know what they've done.". (North County Times)
