I'm sure they'd say yes but they'd be struggling on £1000 per month so another £1000 would help buy life's necessities let along a few luxuries. You can't just multiply the high and the low here: it all becomes disproportionate. Does anyone really need another 2 million? All they can do is buy more and more of the same. A while ago there was the rather naive cry 'make poverty history'. Now I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to financial matter but, as there's only so much money to go around, so I am told, I think you have to make extreme wealth history first. However I don't see much evidence of the churches banging on about that as they are mostly concerned about the easier 'sin' of sex. In the case of the C of E, it may well be that its head is a symbol of greed herself.
