The town of Appleton has a problem: With no property taxes on houses of worship, and very liberal deed restrictions, Appleton, which has a population of 3,000, now has a total of 300 churches. These include the Second Coming Car Service, and Messiah Mike’s House of Stereo. So it’s no surprise that the town’s tax base is eroding. That’s why HENRY BILLINGS, of the City Assessor’s Office, is visiting every church in town to determine that each is a legitimate house of worship._br__br_This Sunday, Henry walks into the House of the Holy Moment, a church run by BUTCH HAGGERTY. Whose idea of a house of worship is Very Different from what the city fathers had in mind when they enacted the bylaws that brought Butch to Appleton._br__br_Henry tries to demonstrate that Butch is not running a bona fide church. Which leads them to questions like: What is a church? What makes a religion?_br__br_No matter what question Henry asks, Butch has a ready answer: “Maybe we have different ideas of what’s religious.” “This isn’t your idea of a church. It’s exactly what I think a church should be.” Stymied by Butch’s responses, Henry vows to take this up with the City Council and leaves in frustration._br__br_Minutes later, in walks CHARLIE, an Everyman depressed by the shape the world is in. Charlie is going to every church in town, looking for answers._br__br_ Ensconced in the House of the Holy Moment, Butch has ‘em. And they’re unlike any Charlie has heard in any other church. Or anywhere else._br__br_By the time he leaves, Charlie has found religion, or Butch’s version of it, anyway, in the House of the Holy Moment.
