The Way They've Always Done It

I noticed that the Greek Evangelical Church where I preached in Brisbane also has a box for offerings, placed in the sanctuary near the foyer. As I watched one of the deacons, I presume, unlocking the lid to collect the money after the meeting, it was explained to me, "That's the way we've always done it here - we couldn't imagine passing a bag around to collect the offering". And looking at the freshly painted walls and the polished wooden floor in this piece of prize real estate, they obviously haven't done too badly by using this approach.
