Interesting images and informative commentary.

There are likely many financial abuses justly laid at a church organization’s door. However, the idea that charges to worshippers for recycled candles is something free for which the church charges is erroneous. They may collect the melted wax with no additional cost to themselves, but the recycled candles still cost for production – someone has to actually set up the collection of the wax, then gather that wax for processing; and, the processing of the melted wax and the forming of the recycled candles requires labor and organization/administration to produce; then, more labor and organization/administration is required to distribute the candles to the point of sale; and, don’t forget the costs of powering facilities where the candles are produced and the costs of the distribution methods. Nothing made by people is free to produce.
