Reminds me a lot of the Bishop's Storehouse of LDS fame. I'm interested in your takes on the ethics (and morality even) of social services provided as a ministry but only to the elect. Personally, I think it's in effect, if not in intent, unchristian and unchristlike, but I can imagine possibly participating in it for financial reasons, and I know there are many who do so without having deeply investigated the spiritual implications. But then, I'm in favor of universal single-payer health insurance/care, and don't believe that having your own fire insurance ought to relieve one of the duty to support the Fire Department, nor that non-smokers should be allowed to pay a reduced tax rate for either one.
