In Germany an eleventh century church building was placed onto a truck and moved to a new location to make way for a mining company to get at millions of tons of coal.  Has the German economy no bounds?

The church has a congregation that has gone back for over 700 years, and now it moves to the next town over.  Even in a world where transportation and movement has become so much easier, is a church the same when it moves?  Does a church building have a connection with place, with the smell of the field out back and the feeling of the nieghborhood next door?  Is there a concept of sacred ground when it can be moved willy-nilly on the back of an uber-truck?
