It's worth checking out, I'll admit.

One other thing, and I'm not sure if the other ministries have similar requirements, CHM did require an actively Christian life for membership. That means meeting regularly and faithfully with other Christians to fulfill ministry (church) and be engaged in furthering Christianity. At a minimum, being a member, or a regular participant, in a local church and in good standing.

I always felt a little guilty since, during my membership, I became disillusioned with the large church I had been attending, and began church shopping, so I didn't have a regular congregation to call my own for a while. But the association makes sense. These ministries want practicing, orthodox Christians who support each other. This contributes to health and reduces health costs.

That's exactly right. And requiring members of these ministries to sign an affirmation about their religious practice is what actually makes these organizations RELIGIOUS organizations.

This is what separates these ministries from any other run-of-the-mill phony religious racket like Catholic Charities.
