What is so awful about not funding the national church? Contributions are voluntary aren’t they?
We all benefit from the work of ECUSA. It educates clergy and helps with national searches. It develops Sunday school materials, and resources for Altar Guilds and other groups. It is the source of our Book of Common Prayer, Hymnal and other resources for worship. The national church gives money back to parishes through grants and reaches out to those in need around the world. The national church helps fund missions in the U.S. and around the world. To accept services but refuse to help pay for them is selfish and immoral.
