GOSPEL INTEGRITY - This is not a "what would Jesus do" question!

The question should be: how do we reduce financial abuses by our own people?

The Panel on the Nonprofit Sector, trying to head off restrictive legislation, released an extensive report including over ...
120 [recommendations] to stem abuses by tax-exempt entities, including greater public disclosure of organizations' finances ...
The Panel held 15 public hearings to gather ideas for legislative reforms to prevent nonprofit financial abuses. One of the seven recurring themes at each of the hearings:
Religious groups should be held to the same standards of ethical conduct.
Senator Grassley (R-Iowa), Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee "has been pushing for broad tightening of the rules on the behavior of charities."

This has long been an embarrassing area for me ... far too many Christian ministries are simply thieves in religious drag ... here and here.
