LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Big bucks ministries
July 28, 2007

The spotlight

I read "Big bucks ministries" (July 28) with interest. Regarding Benny Hinn's two $80,000 Mercedes, I couldn't help but think of a recent letter from a Christian ministry in India hoping to provide each of their pastors with a $900 motorbike. How wonderful that Rusty Leonard is willing to shine the spotlight on these televangelists and call them to accountability, as well as to challenge us to know the ministries we choose to support.
—Lorrie Fine; Phoenix, Ariz.

It's icky, all this display of wealth. What a terrible witness, what with people starving and uneducated all over the world. I would never give to a ministry that would not tell me about how it spends its money, nor to one I see looking too posh.
—Carolyn Males; Evanston, Ill.
