--I once was a member of a 200 person nondenominational congregation, 40% of the membership being former RC and Episcopalian.  We had a shrewd pastor who knew one salient fact of life:  people rise to a level of expectation.  We had to fund EVERYTHING:  salary, benefits, pension, rent, utilities, maintenance, etc.  Once that was a reality we did it, and some of the best givers (I know; I was the church treasurer) were the former RCs.  The behaved like adults because they were treated like adults!-
