Today, what would you call the way of collecting donations in most Christian churches? They circulate bags for the donation. Are they beggars? In the Unification Church, do you receive donations in that fashion? Do you also circulate a bag with a rod like a cooking net? (laughter) [We do.] You are supposed to make donations in the donation box placed at the entrance, as an expression of your gratitude for having received grace from God. That is the way it should be done. Do you understand?

Those who do not want to do it do not have to. Heaven does not want to receive money with no heart in it. The donation that you should offer should be prepared in advance. You are not supposed to take any money out of your pocket in the church. In order to offer a donation, you should carry that money with you for at least three days to sanctify it through the separation of good and evil. How can you make a donation that is worth less than lunch money? (166-319)
