Pasadena Church Declines To Render Unto Caesar

Members of embattled All-Saints church vestry in Pasadena have voted to resist an order to turn over church records relating to an IRS investigation, according to a wire service story. Knowing that congregation, they probably all sang We Shall Overcome and got all misty-eyed, recalling their days at Cal.
The IRS is taking a look at the church’s tax-exempt status. The investigation involves a sermon given Oct. 31, 2004, by guest preacher the Rev. George Regas, the former rector.
