Oh sure, but that isn't what I meant. I just thought you might want to learn more about Christian churches in person, how we operate, what we are really teaching, those kind of things. As far as "giving/support" goes, that's something that Christians who are members of churches typically do (and even some of those don't give anything, or much of anything :(). Visitors and seekers rarely if ever give or support a church, and they should never be expected to. In fact, if you ever do go to a church and feel pressured to give anything, I'd leave immediately and go find another church.

Yours and His,

Well, I did that for decades at various conservative churches. Even to the point of becoming a Calvinist for a while. So I already know how it is. I found it troubling to my mind and spirit.

Now I prefer mainline churches. Or, really just anything that is not conservative or evangelical.
