Municipality is too top down for these purposes either and should not tell people how to entertain or take care of themselves. I don't want it to spend even a penny on that, ok? Enough to help emergency services and such - no one will want to opt out of that.
The.. local municipality funded by the same local community as your churches?
> Churches in USA are not nearly the same as in most other countries. They are funded bottom up and also have to survive by serving their community well.
Where do you think other churches get their funding? Where do you think municipalities get their funding?
