The dynamic of alcohol being sold at this festival is secondary. We had members of our church suggest fund raisers as a way of meeting our budget. I am not in favor of Christ's church soliciting money from the world. We can't stop an unbeliever from putting a check into the offering plate but I am completely against soliciting from those who may be enemies of our Lord. I've heard the argument of, "Well Israel plundered the Egyptians before the Exodus.". The only problem with that is a little thing called context.
