29. But the churches take the initiative in organizing it

In my experience, it is quite uncommon for a bunch of secular people to get together and do something like this, although it does happen, such as with Picnic in the Park in Portland.

Even organizations such as Meals on Wheels or Habitat for Humanity, which have no denominational affiliation, get most of their volunteers from churches.

You know who does most of the charitable work in Japan? The Buddhists, and the Christians, too, out of proportion to their numbers.
