Insurance Cancels for Churches Under Fire Prompt Policy Debate
A 1969 Chronicle report notes insurers cancel church coverage amid anti draft protest sanctuary use. First Unitarian of South Bend faced 13 rejections after prior coverage of $123000 with premiums of $304 yearly. Lloyds offered $17500 with $500 premium. Aetna provided $5000 at similar rate. Beamer cites federal plans and fire risk, while congregations brace for arson risk and seek regulation. The Episcopal Church Insurance Firm reports continued cancellations despite ownership by church bodies.
