The plot was somewhat interesting when it came to making a decision between the two factions. Both have good points. The stupidity of the episode come in the method used to right the foundation of the church. These things require a delicate balance and fortifications to make them work. I won't say any more. Ask anyone in the building trade.

Trivia
Elmo mentions using the $500 left to the church to buy a pool table to put in the basement for when the men's club meets. Emmett agrees and suggests they have tournaments. Losers buy the beer. Yet again, more evidence that Mayberry is no longer a dry county like in the earlier episodes.

Goofs
After aunt Bee tells Andy that unless the choir gets the willed money for the robes the group will disband, he tells her that "the church has ALWAYS had a choir."

But in an earlier episode, "The Church Organ," there is no choir, nor even a part of the church with a tiered section for one.
