| 'Yes, this was a concern for us too. It's a tricky situation. As Christians, we know that tithing is the right thing to do since it is in accordance with what the Bible teaches. Therefore, while it may seem to be an optional expenditure to those outside the faith, it really isn't for us. For us, it's a moral imperative."
I'm guessing schools see it as optional because you could instead contribute via volunteering etc, rather than solely through financial means. So yeah...I know what you mean ( I'm a catholic, and I contribute regularly during church collections etc), but I guess God would understand if you reduce your donations in order to put your kids through school. |
