"When churches can't do community outreach, don't always blame the church. Sometimes it's the lack of tithes and offering. For the church to do what it needs to do, it takes financial resources from its members. (Note: it's good to give to other organizations, but don't forget the place that feeds your spirit.) Food for thought." - Rev. Sinclair Grey III
"It would be easier if lay people had the custom of leaving offerings on a daily basis to the Earth, and kept personal altars. Otherwise it is a chore, and pastors have to become inventive every service to nudge congregants to leave tithes and offerings. It feels like a corporate gift and not a spiritual gift this way." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 9.4.13
