Are Organs purposely offset due to the differential in the size of the
pipes may cause different pipes to change with temperature at different

David;
 "Tuning" a pipe organ is not a 'task' it is an adventure!
Trying to tune a piano and organ together is just as useful as trying to push 
a rope to move a boulder....i.e. you can work at it quite diligently but it 
ain't gonna work!. With the church just make an agreement to tune to a 
certain pitch standard, I suggest A440, and let it go. :-)
