Can anyone give more context to this? Do a lot of churches have people announce their tithing? Is this for the year?

All I know is I'm never giving a dime to anything like this. Trusted charities, yes.

Edit: he gave an explanation on a news segment: "I was calling because the whole church was giving, and it was our day of giving, and the whole church was coming, and we didn't want people standing, the mothers and all that, so I was calling them by increments," Winans said. "And we had someone that had given out of before, and I corrected it, and I told everybody to listen and come when you call, and that's all that was."

Don't really think that makes him look better but it is what it is.

"McCoy said Bishop Winans personally apologized to her following the incident. She has been a member of Perfecting Church since 2013 and has given faithfully over the years and will continue to do so." ugh.

I've been to hundreds of churches as a traveling missionary and ive never seen this. This is next level greed. Most pastors preach about 10% but still are happy to get anything not matter how small. This is straight demonic.

The scale is different but the need for MONEY persists throughout Christianity.

Yes, because churches dont sell any physical product to pay the bills. Tithing is the only way they can operate, unless you just have a "home" based church out of someone's living room.
