Jonathan Landon is a law student at the University of Iowa who completed research in May 2009 showing that ministers criticize such practices as predatory lending, but that those practices are often widespread in areas with high concentrations of Christians. Landon also found that churches sponsor educational programs to help congregants get out of debt.
