Should churches help each other?

Sometimes, when one church is struggling, another church helps out. One church I interviewed (for the From Death to Life project) was a new ethnic church development that was
given a building, basically for free, from a church that died. But we
all know you get what you pay for, and the building they got had  more
than a few structural problems. They received some support for the
pastor’s salary from their denomination, but the building was weighing
them down with repair bills.

After developing a partnership with a church in another city, the
partner church raised $50,000 to assist the new church development with
the purchase of a new boiler.

And here’s another story from
the Huffington Post about a church that stood up for their belief in
the rights of gay and lesbian people and, because of the ensuing
controversy, has lost members and is on the brink of collapse.  In their
case, a large church in another state reached out to support them with a
financial gift that will keep them open a few more months.
