Good evening to you all

I would like your views on this.

At one of my local churches, the priest/vicar, etc produced a leaflet, outlining about giving money to the church.

This money is not to assist community or help groups;
only the church.

In the leaflet, it stated:

"it should be the top priority, even in severe financial hardship to give to and support the church".

There were then calculations on the minimum that should be donated each week.

By the way, the area concerned is one where there is high unemployment and poverty. The neighbouring districts are more wealthy.

What do you think about what was said in the leaflet?

What are your views, etc on this subject?

Thank you.

Best wishes.
