[Vision2020] Tax Code

[Thomas Hansen]

Greetings Visionaires -

According to http://www.christkirk.com/Literature/Constitution.html#Art7,
Christ Church is not tax-exempt and is therefor required to pay taxes.  It
should also be noted in the above link that they (Christ Church) " . . .
accepts the various burdens and entanglements of civil regulation and
taxation under protest."

It is my impression that the reason Christ Church is paying taxes is not
because they are "community conscious", they simply do not meet the
requirements for a tax exemption.

So, until they do become tax exempt they will just have to pay taxes like
the rest of us.

Doing my part,

Dear Visionaries,
I am confused, and since somewhere I might have raised the allegation or
spread the rumor myself - although tax stuff is way out of my league -
perhaps Greg can help us understand what is being said about the tax status
of Christ Church.  Is Christ Church and its auxiliary schools, Canon Press,
etc., provided a tax shelter as a religious group - or, as I think I am
reading - has Christ Church, the auxiliary schools and publishing business
refused to claim a religious exemption from taxes? If that is the case,
perhaps they are setting a good example for the other churches in this
community.
