I have to heartily agree with Ken Brown's comments: "I am finding that the Newsletter is really only used to advertise your documents that you charge for and the price is not very inviting to purchase." It seems that since CMR sold their business off, the "Church Support Program" has less and less free information, and there is an extra charge for almost anything. We had been with CMR for many, many years, but the future of our involvement looks more and more questionable. Church Law & Tax Report seems to be the single remaining value to us.
