Back in the day....in my end of the land......then called 'WESTERN  TERRITORIES.....

Churches built palaces ....in hopes of being registered as a University.......with medical specialty

These same Churches ....(Roman Catholic...Lutheran....Baptist..Greek Orthodox....etc)  all built churches and schools......teachers provided...many of them country schools.....grade one to grade twelve.....in same schoolroom

Plus same churches did 'social service'....supporting a neighbor in hard times......even finding employment and ..in rare cases....financial support

Main stream Churches no longer provide those services......but new Churches....ie  Mosques....certainly do
