altruistic people... with a little time on their hands.

I'm not saying there are not busy people who volunteer or go to church, but I think there's a "have time and patience" factor associated with it.

The average Churchgoer works full time and has a family. They don't have time for Church, they make time for it. It's all about priorities.

We just believe that giving the supreme master of the universe 1/168th of our time isn't too much to ask. Anyone who believes there is such a being who loves us won't balk at that commitment. Anyone who doesn't, well, I guess they can stare at a glowing rectangle an extra hour a week. Enjoy!
