Effects of the economic downturn have infiltrated every aspect of our lives in the past few years. Schools, businesses, students, graduates and a variety of people are doing what they can to get through financially trying times. Churches are apparently no different. This week in the headlines, the Crystal Cathedral Ministries in Orange County, noted as being one of the county’s landmarks and mega-churches filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The tune of this church’s debt rings in at $55 million, according to msnbc.com.

I’m sure by now we are all tragically acquainted with the battle over the mosque to be built near Ground Zero. What began as a generally well-accepted construction project somehow turned into a media blitz and then a public battle as, this past weekend, dueling protests (both against the mosque and for it) met on the street outside the designated construction site. Of course, the fight isn’t just over the mosque; if it were just about the mosque I doubt enough people would have cared to even stage a small rally.

Over the last month, what started as a single-city issue has grown into a national debate over religious freedom and American rights. The proposed building of a mosque in New York City, very close to Ground Zero, has divided the country into those who feel a Muslim-focused building has no place near a place where those of the same beliefs killed 3,000 Americans, and those who feel that freedom of religion trumps any individual opinions on what people should be allowed to do.
