I saw a documentary about a church group

Who financed the ministry by card counting at the blackjack tables at casinos

Now that is anew wrinkle on how to raise money. They should have had an agreement with the local constabularies. Two years, and then a raid...

I wondered about that earlier, since the church did not look like a church, but a storefront of some sort. If so, there might be others that also are in the larger building, etc.

Here's a little more detail from a Charisma article:www.charismanews.com/us/74183-firefighters-discover-a-secret-gambling-room-inside-cogic-churchIt seems to be a rented building (if I understand what the pastor is saying) with the other half being rented by an unrelated (to the church) business (?).The only question remaining is who the owner of the property is. As long as its not the church, the headline is misleading.
