The one thing--probably the only thing--I'll ever say in favor of the church owning the Mark Hellinger and, indeed, all the churches that own all the glorious once legitimate theaters or movie palaces, is that they have kept them beautifully maintained and available for viewing and, obviously most importantly, the possibility of their sometime in the future again providing pleasure to patrons.
Compare this to the Marriott Marquis Hotel(and theater)that replaced several priceless B'way. theaters torn down and all the other business owners who have destroyed the great edifices they bought.

Very good point.

I have heard from people that SHOULD know that the Hellenger is most certainly NOT for sale. If the church has outgrown the space, they will get an ADDITIONAL space. But IF it were to sell, both Jujamcyn and ATG would be EXTREMELY interested.
