Regular alms-giving is part of our Manichaean Faith. All Manichaean brothers and sisters know it is there responsibility to make alms on a weekly or monthly basis. This is the reason you will rarely hear Manichaean clergy asking congregations or study groups for donations. We already know it\u2019s our divine responsibility. A page was set up (linked below) to make it easier for those who wish to make their alms-giving or other offerings via online.<\/p>\n
We do not ask for gifts or alms from those who are not members of the Faith, but we appreciate any thing others may wish to provide.<\/p>\n
As Manichaeans we believe that our sins are removed by making alms on a regular basis. Not everyone is able to provide alms in the form of money, thus one would give food to one of the Elect; however, in the absence of one of the Elect, it is a noble act to give food to the poor in your community or neighbourhood. This act of charity is blessed and your transgressions can be forgiven if done so with a pure heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
