This is doing church right.
There's so much good that some churches do. The Methodist near me has a permanent trans flag and a sign saying all are welcome. Do all sorts of good deeds. If you're looking for community and a place to put your charity, either your money or your labor, you could do much worse. It's an established functional thing, actually dedicated to good deeds and love.
Such churches do exist, and if your a product of western society, as I suspect anyone reading this is, it's the closest thing to heritage and a sort of tribal inclusion you're likely to get. A thing I think all humans crave on some level.
Then the Catholics, mega churches etc out there giving it all a bad name. Just hateful with a side of systematic sexual abuse. My point being maybe just don't turn your nose up at the mere thought of it. There's so much goodness about if you only reach out and grab it.
Sadly churches are filled with people and people are fallible. The larger the church the more likely problems occur visibly.
