[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we just moved to a new place and we've been church shopping for a few weeks. We got a lot of nice calls and letters from the pastors we met and we felt very welcome everywhere.

Just yesterday I was checking our mail and for the SECOND time we got a letter from one of those churches asking for money - actually, the only church whose pastor never called or mailed us a welcome letter. The letter was personal, signed with ink and mentioned all family members names.

I was angry in the beginning, disgusted for a while but in the end I'm just so upset. I feel like writing this pastor an email. [b]A serious one asking him to watch out[/b]. How dare him pretend we're intimate and ask for money like that?

I grew up in a Christian home and have been part of very tiny congregations and also part of huge multi-campus churches with thousands of members so I know exactly how they operate.

I can't get over how horrible impression he's causing in other people visiting the church sending such letters instead of welcoming them to the church. I'm the daughter of a minister and in every church we've congregated it was always stressed how the financial responsibility should be thrown upon those who are mature in their faith. The new members should be fed and not asked to provide anything.

I really want to write to this man but I'm not sure what to say. What would you do?[/quote]
