Hopefully, you are complaining about the right thing ladies. My church has recently opened a Christianomics Mall on church property. It has a restaurant, beauty shop, barbershop, clothing store etc. It is NOT part of the church or inside the sanctuary. It is a way for Christians to recycle their dollars with members of the church (who own the shops) This money flows through members and the church. I know of churches that own strip malls, McDonalds, etc. I perceive this as a good thing because the Church is self-sufficient and makes money rather than relies solely or the pockets of sometimes poor parishiners. Now to have an ATM inside a sanctuary is sacriligeous and should not be tolerated . But churches, just like Black folk in general, need to learn to recycle their money and become money generators instead of spenders.
