Remember that a LG god provides power to NG and LN clerics.  This easily allows corruption.3. the "i get my power secretly from another god" idea that you mentioned. More difficult given dection spells, unless you make such clerics have some sort of mask-alignment.  also could be problems due to consecrate, hallow... etc.4. the most effective one is also probably the most controversial... view the church as a whole as you would view a person.  as most LG people will have moments where they're acting in non-LG manners, and if you allow such actions to have no negative effects in your campaign as long as the person's mostly LG, a church will also have periods where it is acting in a non-LG manner with no detriment.  This one of course, varies widely from campaign to campaign.joe b.</blockquote>
