This reminds me of a situation that happened back in my home-state. There was a letter to the local paper's editor complaining about the farm smells. It seems that OP had purchased some property that had been sectioned off from a local farmer that adjoined other farms and built a house. The complainer was angry because the farmer next door had the audaciousness to have cattle and pigs that emitted noxious odors. (Add sarcasm to that statement.) Said OP came later and not the farmer. I would say this might be the same here with the burning. Unless the rules have been changed for the church to burn, then maybe there's nothing that can be done. Go to the township and speak to them after speaking to the church leadership (or vice versa) to see if you can get resolution.
