(2007-12-11) Grassley Religious Tax Test

Charles Grassley of the US Senate is investigating whether various religious groups deserve their Non-Profit tax status (Religion). In the past five years, Grassley has led probes of nonprofits that unearthed lavish perks at the Smithsonian Institution, conflicts of interest at the Nature Conservancy, and mismanagement at the American Red Cross. Now, he's looking at some of America's largest, media-based ministries... The six ministries include WithoutWalls International Church in Tampa, Fla., the World Healing Center Church, Inc. in Grapevine, Tex., Joyce Meyer Ministries in Fenton, Mo., the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Ga., WorldChangers Church International in College Park, Ga., and Kenneth Copeland Ministries in Newark, Tex.
