  Folks, a good reporter — even a bad, but diligent one — can find
information on 501C3s. This is public information. I did a quick search to
speed this debate along and found 144 such tax-situated groups, including the
Ren Fair, Appaloosa Museum, Kenworthy, something called Association of
Computing Machinery and many churches and civic associations, some of which
may be Christ Church-affiliated. Many likely not. Malfeasance is not a
requirement for this sort of tax filing — there are hundreds of thousands if
not millions of such organizations in America.
  There is a story here, somewhere, but context is the key.
  The only obvious Christ Church affiliation I found was Logos. Note, I only
searched Moscow, Idaho. Incorporation, though, could be anywhere in the
United States, which would require more search time. Here is the basic
information I culled,
   cheers, greg burton

                                    This organization is not required to file
an annual return with the IRS because it is a church. It
