Indeed they have. In fact the Trappist breweries in Belgium are still run by monks. All the profits made from beer sales go towards funding the monasteries. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I can start work in counselling, but will have to be certified by a counselling Association to be "official." All this training will take about three years. Works well because our youngest will then be in school full-time, so I can go back to work, and the woman who lives a block away has started a non-profit organization that will go nation-wide in offering all Canadians (and Americans for that matter) access to counselling services when dealing with loss. Quite serendipitous, don't you think?

Universal Grief Counseling. Sounds like Socialism to me.
One of my closest friends is a funeral director. I wonder if he's aware of the non-profit organization that you're talking about.
