Well I can confirm that in the 50+ years I have attended the main weekly meeting that we never have a collection and we certainly don't mention anything about people giving. These days people can set up a D/D if they wish and all giving is always confidential.

Catholics can also be Christians, however unlike RC's in the States, South America and a few other places, in the UK that combination is very rare.
