CASHLESS SOCIETIES & CHURCH TITHING
Most Churches have a Weekly Tithing System. With no cash l would see a Parishioner signing into a Weekly Direct Debit with their bank to have the Tithing amount paid directly to the Church so they could continue to honour their commitment.
Not every person may be able to Tithe therefore l visualise the weekly collection in Church may consist of a receipt showing the person's name & amount donated via a possible Bank Transfer.
Perhaps we will see an end to Charities collecting at Royal Shows, in the cities or door knocking for donations. This could be overcome if the collectors are armed with a tap & go type of swipe machine, perhaps?
I know we are still in the early days for this & can hope the whole concept will be withdrawn.
Running through my mind now are the words, "Those were the days my friend, l wish they would never end".
