If the economics are immoral then really it is just capitalism that is bothering you. :-)
There is nothing morally that requires this firm, ever, to allow the church to terminate the contract. Maybe I am just meaner than you are, but the litigator in me says that when your advantage is greatest is when you press it the hardest. The church is a "big boy", plays hard ball itself sometimes and is not, in a business setting (I don't imagine this venture is being done at a loss) deserving of anyones sympathy, IMO.
All I see here are sophisticated parties each trying to maximize value. They will either do it by compromise or they won't.
