Something like this:
1. Start 2 churches.
2. These churches have completely different deacons, trustees, operations, etc..
3. Only one of the churches accepts money, and a deacon preaches at this one, to any member who wants to come.
4. The other church doesn't accept money, maybe doesn't have a tax number, yet owns the property of the church, and should be set up as a private trust rather than a corporation. This is where the pastor preaches anything he wants.
5. Even the pastor doesn't own anything, and only receives expenses from a separate private trust.
