The construction of the church's sanctuary seems endless. The snail-like pace the completion of the church has taken is raising concerns. Rev. Harris blames it on the U.S. bureaucracy. We are just unable to get a loan that could speed up completing our church. At press time, ICF meets at a community Center in Southwest Atlanta.
Some church members believe the issue is more than just the bureaucracy.
Some suspect there is more than what they have been led to believe. These parishioners think church officials are withholding crucial information about the church's finances. When further asked what could be the reason behind the church's failure to obtaining additional loans, he said, I frankly don't know. But I hope our leaders will make financial records available to members, so as to avoid raising suspicion which is not healthy for the establishment. Rev. Harris answered the question by saying the church was denied the larger loan because of ICF's inability to get co-signers who would guarantee repayment.
