Thomas @ 2 — You write: “Our congregation in Muncie has never, never, used interest to fund our annual operating budget.”

I wish more congregations were like yours. I also think there’s a cultural thing in the Midwest that leads to greater financial responsibility of this kind. Thanks for commenting!

Amy @ 3 — Great idea, thanks!

They take their religion’s commandments against usury seriously.

They allow some interest as a repayment of risk, but are very strict about keeping it reasonable.

We do have interest bearing accounts but these support only special fund accounts that are only used for very rare, and particular, purposes.

First it was male attire. Then it was fulfilling the purpose of the UUMA. Now it’s money, plain and simple. Me? I’m still dealing with the attire question: Windsor or four-in-hand?

Admiring your blogging output and guts!
