Sunday School

[L Verge]

I can't answer the question about pew rental because I have never heard of such a practice in the 20th or 21st century. I am also not familiar with a church tax or membership fee.

Episcopalians never have to pay anything to belong to the church. Congregants participate in the general offering during various services, and some churches expect (but do not require) tithing where a certain portion of one's income is donated to the church. We may pledge a certain amount that we will contribute each year, but we are not forced into either pledging or living up to that pledge.
