in uk some properties subject to chancel tax, best to check your title deed when buying as it means you may have to help pay to repair the local parish roof!

When I gave my dog food scraps after cooking, I would call it his Tythe. (if I didn't have food scraps I would have to make some, because he demanded his Tythe).

The Bible calls on us to give 10% of our earnings to the church. The church by definition is God's people, not necessarily an institution. Tithe should come from the heart of giving, not a tax.
