the church and perpetual greed
"Send Money" cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward
This is an old cartoon I drew back in 2009. I like it.
I remember being in a summer camp church service where they brought in a preacher who was famous for his ability to get huge offerings. They were raising money for the camp. He sent the offering plates around at least half a dozen times. They did raise a lot that day.
I'm not against money or the church's use of it. But if the church feeds off money and gets bigger and richer, the more money it's going to need to survive and grow.
Wouldn't it be interesting to know how much money actually flows through the hands of the church... the whole Christian church all around the world... in one week? Or just how much money it's sitting on. Investments. Equity. Property.
I'd be curious to know.
