Crystal Cathedral Scrambles for Cash

See Asks vendors for forgiveness and Court-ordered to pay musicians“The Crystal Cathedral, delinquent in payments to up to 185 creditors, asked in April for a 90-day extension while staff work out payment plans. The Orange County megachurch has a budget deficit of $55 million and downsized ministry centers and programs earlier this year. The church’s creditors include animal vendors and dry cleaners employed for the 2009 Christmas pageant; three groups filed lawsuits claiming $2 million in unpaid services.” CT
