I live in Australia and this has been a thing in every pentecostal church I've been to.

This happens at churches of enough historical significance they become regular tourist attractions.

So, the question I have, is where do the proceeds go, and how much is that guy making off it?

If the money for the merch goes to, say, feeding the homeless or even just the church’s general budget, I see it as a fundraiser, and not particularly offensive.

If the dude is pocketing the profits…. Yeah, fuck that dude.

The person at the desk is almost certainly a brainwashed unpaid volunteer. The owner, on the other hand…
