Why do Church's in the Uk have to beg for money when they need any repair work?
398529
its to do with the church belonging to the community etc etc and it is seen as a good deed to donate to the repair of a church.  Not all churches are "ruled" by the Vatican though remember, since Henry VIII the Church of England has been seperate.

That's called volunteering.  Why do a job without being paid?

Churches are filled with rich, poor, black, white - there are 2 billion Christians in the world. Perhaps you need to look a little harder.\nCheck out how Christians reach out to the poor and help needs around the world...

Some really need help. There are places that do help. Some use it as a way to make a living. Did you know they have a school to teach you how to be a begger or hobo. During the day they ask for money, at night they go home to their Mansions and fine cars and families.

poor people dont need money, they need to figure out how to \nnot be poor. by giving them money, you only perpetuate their\nlack.show them how to get help, or find out what they really need. most people who beg are drunks or druggies.\nreal poor people who have no money take no pride in begging.

Look in the Yellow Pages under Churches and call them all.  They have the money set aside for such emergencies.  You don't have to be a member - just in need of services.....)(

A few months back its been the Pope, but now they have filled up all the vacants in jobs in UK. Great bunch, not very hard working but still make it. Catholicism in action.

It's because the churches are new or because they are home churches and haven't asked for their tax deduction yet. Praise God for America, where we can build new churches.

Come to think of it i do get a rather large number of people saying they are in Africa and asking for money\n\ni have not been able to ascertain what religion they actually are but they do like to cruise various christian chat-rooms looking for a 'hit'\n\nHow they tend to operate is to sit in the room for a bit and wait for someone who looks like they may be a 'rich' westerner.  Rather than imbibe in room chat they will im them privately.\n\nsome ask for money straightaway - others will not do it immediately but will build up to it over a few conversations.\n\nthey usually have stories of hardship but all of them have enough resources to find a computer (and some even have web-cams too!) \n\nmy advice is \n\n* dont respond to ims from people from chatrooms without any room chat first\n\n* dont send money to individuals that you meet online - you cant check out scams as easily online - if you do feel sorry for their plight then gifting to a charitable agency will do far more about the situation

If you are part of a church, go to your minister and explain your situation. Churches often have money budgeted to help people with things like utilities if they are in need. If you are not part of a church, you can still go to a church to ask for help. They are not going to turn you away just because you are not a member, and if they don't have money budgeted for such things, I am sure that the pastor of that church will know where to send you for help. I don't know if you are a Christian or not, but I know that churches are in the business of helping people who need it, so please don't feel embarrased or out-of-place by going there for help. I hope you get the help that you need. :)

have you tried your local charities or churches?  \n\nAlso, if you're desperate for money, it's less likely you will get donations.  Companies and individuals who contribute large amounts of money like to see business plans and see that you're diligently working towards a solid business goal.\n\nI'm sure God will help you but you might want to consider that He likes to see you working towards a goal, too.
