[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a minister could look after more than one congregation.
You could have y bishop write the sermon, the lay people take turns reading it, or have video conference for the speaker

The current set up is extremely expensive. Just imagine if church budget could include 50% charity[/quote]

Some ministers already do handle more than one congregation, when the churches involved are small. At some point, when the congregations get larger, this becomes unfeasible because one minister can’t handle all the personal counseling, funerals, visiting the sick, etc.[/quote]
My experience is that you are on your own when you get sick, become unemployed, go through divorce
The church is not there for people like that. It is a business.
Only select few who are very well connected get visits from the priest[/quote]

I’m guessing you never reached out to your minister/priest to let him/her know what was going on in your life. I know priests who spend a lot of the week visiting people in hospitals and taking communion to those who are home-bound. It’s true they probably won’t visit you for the flu though—no time to do that for everybody. [/quote]
