Those are both unfortunate truths. Regarding the latter point, the larger and more 'modern' the church and it's setting, the greater the risk of being fleeced. I am fortunate in having a small, traditional Lutheran church to which I belong, along with my wife and daughter. It's rather quaint and enjoyable.
