At this point any church likely has an online giving portal that can do auto-tithes. If you pass on the in-person collection, I think most can assume you’ve given online, not that it matters what our fellow sinners are thinking.

I believe the offering is gathered during the liturgy as a real offering of our sacrifice.

So you don't see it as clashing with Jesus' teaching from Matthew 6:3?

I don’t. I see that teaching to be about other giving, not liturgical sacrifice.

Also physical offerings (cash and checks) are encouraged to be placed in envelopes to avoid this issue I believe.

Fair enough. I'll give this some more thought, then.

And I definitely like the idea of envelopes. They don't do that at the parish I've been visiting.
