"And to the extent that these churches are anchoring institutions, it's a crisis of community." The sign for one lovely wood-framed church in nearby Buxton, N.D., says it all: GRUE LUTHERAN CHURCH.

Everyone spent a day combing the place for the envelope as if they were on a CSI episode, but to no avail. "You'd love...
