If it is already spent, being held to fund a mission, or if it is being held to secure a bond or anything else along those lines. Churches have to operate like businesses in order to make it in a business driven world, which means a insolary glance at a bank statement has nothing to do with their ablity to access their money and or even use it. They can not run like you run your house hold, where if there is money in your account it is avaible to spend.
I think you're missing the point: for an organization that provides, as its main product, absolutely nothing of any verifiable value, and treats the price for that as theirs by right, there sure are a lot of breaks and concessions being made for what would be a scam the moment you remove the crosses and the funny hats.
