Re: Oh I missed this... (none / 0)
I wouldn't say "fine" without knowing a bit more about the collection of the churchgoers' money. If it was collected under false pretenses, then it's definitely Not Cool.

Re: Oh I missed this... (4.00 / 2)
Church members fees (church tax) fund a budget that among other things has an item "democracy education and support of democratic initiatives". The money was taken from this title of the budget. The provost okayed that. The synod wasn't asked (would have been optional). The bishop wasn't asked either (optional again).
