Just keep it in prayer and keep it all in front of your congregation.
God is blessing us at St Mark's, too.  As you said, all the silver and
gold in the world are his, and he can move the hearts of his people to
give some of it back.  Hang in there on this one.

From what I gathered last night, the church was basically built by means
of generous donations from a very godly lady who died of cancer shortly
before the first service.  The stories this architect told me about
sacrificial giving were heart warming and very encouraging.  Some think
I should have my head read, but why should the liberals hold a monopoly
on beauty?  Did our Lord not speak creation into existence?  Dos He not
own all the cattle on the thousand hills?  Is all the silver and gold in
this world not His?  Is anything too hard for Him?  I think not...so I
push on.  May I not be proved naieve and foolish.
