Is there a free sermon with all the needs-meeting? There are churches that do that, enough that we've all gotten the picture from it. If your church doesn't, then that's great, but let's not pretend that you can speak for every religious organization.
Here's a good string; wanna volunteer at a soup kitchen run by a church? Better be a part of the religion to do it!
I wonder why it would matter so much to this group that they maintain total control of the ideological discourse going on inside?
