It's a really fun thought: a sort of meeting place where people donate to learn from scientists and musicians; where there is a daycare where education is important; where people can just get-together and do charitable things, etc.
I probably won't carry it out, due to my gnarly ADD, but I don't see anything wrong with something like that. No dogma necessary.
ETA: I wouldn't call it a "church", though. Not in a million years.
Reb, what you describe sounds great!
Why can't they meet at places like this?
I don't see why "they" can't.
Quote:Reb, is there any religious oversight in those places at all?
What do you mean by "religious oversight"?
