Ben Op Community Support Bleg

What should Christian communities be doing now to support each other economically?

Readers, I’m revising the Work chapter of The Benedict Option at the moment, and need your help. I’m looking for examples of Christian church communities whose members patronize each other’s businesses and otherwise support each other economically. Can you give me some concrete examples of how specific Christian communities help meet each other’s financial needs, provide medical care, or meet each other’s practical needs in some other way? I have some examples from the LDS community, but I’m looking for Catholic, Protestant, and/or Orthodox examples.

What I’m looking for are examples for the rest of us to follow if, in the future, Christians begin to lose their jobs because of their faith. What kinds of resources will we, as Christian communities, be able to do offer them? What should we start doing now, to prepare for this day? Are there businesses we can and should start as Christian communities, and commit to hiring each other, and patronizing business and tradespeople in our own circles?
