What if they'd lived there for 10 years and sold it for a huge profit?

See - a gift means you own the thing. So surely you can sell it?
What shocks me is that the church were naiive enough to be shocked. In this country (UK) it would be inconceivable that a church would give a house to one family, when the same money could be used to rent property for ten families.
Even if they were going to gift a house to one family, they'd likely lease it for a tiny rent, not give it over.

Comes willowing across the sand;
