Orthodox church offer

Even if it turns out to be nothing but self-serving eyewash, still I think there is something nice about Archbishop Chrysostomos II's offer to mortgage church property if it will help to ease Cyprus' financial crisis -- a crisis that has seen the government considering skimming the bank savings of the people it rules.

Of course the head of Cyprus' Orthodox church did not say precisely how many or what assets might be mortgaged, but still ... what other religious institution might do the same?
