Religion in America slows church building boom
UPI reports rising costs, high interest rates, and conscience concerns dampening the two decade long church construction surge. Since 1966 peak outlays reached 1.2 billion, but 1969 figures fell to about 950 million with projections under 900 million. Higher costs reduce space value, loans rise to 8 percent, and congregations face debt. Some pastors question prioritizing lavish facilities over service as storefronts and shared buildings gain traction.
