According to a recent Time Magazine article, use of electronic giving kiosks, akin to an ATM machine, is now growing rapidly in U.S. churches.  In a Dallas Morning News Survey of over 200 local churches, over 55% reported using these devices.  The main arguments for these devices are that 1) the IRS now requires increased documentation for all contributions and 2) giving increases when these machines are utilized.

 

Has your church implemented these devices?  Has your church seen an increase in giving?
