Cross Purposes

If It Please Your Worship

A Chicago estate agent has converted his home into a church, placing a cross on it and saving himself $80,000 in taxes. The man said he converted his $3 million home into the Armenian Church of Lake Bluff so his disabled wife and daughter did not have to travel to worship. He said he started his own congregation a year ago after receiving a pastor's degree from a religious internet site.
