It's like advertising.
you either find a need, or create one, then sell people on the fact that you have what they need.
Then you charge what the market allows.

I need a vacation in the Bahamas, a Lear Jet, BMW -- make that a Lincoln SUV -- 40 room mansion on a 500 acre estate.
I'm ready to sign up for financial manager of any religion you can think of.

Greed? 
Among church members? Are you even within our reality? Church members follow their religious convictions, especially when dealing with the business of running their churches. I am surprised at your accusations!

A very good idea
but until you find a way to deal with the greed factor, it will remain an idea

Agreed . . .
That is why I stipulated in my blog that monies in excess of income needed to operate the church, the excess be used on projects outside the church. Too many of today's churches are self-worshipping, rather than members of the larger coommunity, as they should be.

True. In reality, surplus funds are re-invested in financial institutions for the further "benefit of the church". Ironically sad how the church seeks to prosper itself.
