it's a Liiane! :D just to be clear, I don't think anyone is arguing that we should be able to give money to the KKK or any other true hate group. I do understand the concerns from the order/wording in announcement that we might be considering typical church or religious service as "hateful"...

oh, and I realized I hadn't replied to this, but yes! good idea, and as Tree said, we have been kicking around something related. from earlier, "I would like to see, in the long run, a place where there can be more conversations about service - what people do, more resources for what people...

right now, the form as set up allows for one service/type of service to be entered at a time. (now, you can and should put together repeated acts of the same thing - if you go do something every week, you don't have to do a separate form for every time, just mention how many times or how much...

well, I'm not sure how much is poor wording of the original text, or actual disagreements - and we do NOT value-equate teaching sunday school with KKK or whatever. (incidentally, I am a sunday school teacher. or maybe that should be a disclaimer. or whatever.) we certainly ARE attempting to...

I understand. I can see several reasons why people may not choose to submit requests for points. I would like to see, in the long run, a place where there can be more conversations about service - what people do, more resources for what people might do, what inspiring things they have heard...

yes! we do see that. the things in the two paragraphs were loosely combined by whether one gets payment for things; and whether one can count work for certain groups; but having that as the first sentence and the sentence about religious organizations as details does not match what we intended...

quick thought on that: (more on other things later!) there may be people here coming from all different points on a spectrum of service. I know some people (irl) for whom service is a natural and huge part of their lives. and yes, they do it because they believe it is right, not for...

I can do that one quick. :) yes. warm feet for someone exposed to the elements, when you could have just thrown the socks away? (or sold them...maybe not much market for old socks! but I'm amazed what sells at yard sales sometimes.) sure, even small donations, of material things or money...

thanks everyone for reading through everything and asking questions! I have been reading all the questions as well. I do not have all the time available that I would like to have right now; so I'm going to spend my time putting thought into responding to the issues brought up about religion and...

did I mention that we have details? I'm sure some of you will have questions. please ask! I'll try to consolidate at least some of the answers here in this post. eventually there will be a FAQ. I look forward to hearing about all the good work y'all are doing!

thank you Tree! :) and many thanks to everyone who has worked on this program. she mentioned details...oh yes, we have details...here we go! INTRODUCTION Servant of All. At one time or another every one of us needs help from someone else, and everyone has the capacity to serve. From...
