Many Uni-Uni (their term) congregations are totally self-governing, and hence self-financing. Since they have to foot their own bills, they clearly have to raise their own money. I agree with Neocon that Uni-Unis are generally terribly nice and terribly earnest. At the same time, they tend also to be terribly predictable, hence terribly boring: personally, I can't stand it when I know in advance what people are going to say. At various times, both my stepfather and my husband tried to get me to join the Uni-Unis; I would go, on occasion, but almost invariably fell asleep. :-) Edit: I have mentioned this somewhere before, but let me do so again. The Uni-Uni Society I used to visit in Connecticut invariably held a vegetarian pot-luck supper on World Hunger Day. I never could understand how my stuffing my face with beans once a year was going to help the starving millions! It's a Uni-Uni thing, I guess. (You know the drill: meat cattle devour acres of grain that could be used to feed the hungry, etc., etc.)
