In the motion picture adaptation of Pollyanna the title character, played by Hayley Mills, asserts that no one can own a church.

One difficulty the entire [Anglican] church is having to come to terms with, though, is that if the US is expelled, the whole edifice could crumble. It is cash from the Episcopal Church that keeps the show on the road.
