[quote=Anonymous]I was raised Episcopalian, and my mother would pledge a yearly amount of support for the church. She would get a numbered envelope for each week to put in the collection plate, along with holiday envelopes for special offerings. Each year there would essentially be a pledge drive for all current parishioners so that the church would be able to budget for the upcoming year. I am now married to a Jew, and raising my children Jewish. We belong to a reform temple, and now pay dues instead of pledges. It is essentially the same thing my Mom does at her church, except we are giving guidelines based on income and billed quarterly. The income guidelines are guidelines only, and AFAIK, no one is turned away from joining the temple for not meeting the dues guidelines. [/quote]
