Good news. The parsonage tax exemption has been ruled unconstitutional. The bad news is that the ruling will likely be appealed and perhaps overturned by higher courts.

Let's see how far this goes. It's a step in the right direction.

Nice. Just in time for the Christmas season.

I agree with this exemption being done away with. I am not sure it is unconstitutional but it does not make much sense as policy.

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Eph 5:15-17)
