While I am not Christian, this is good news. If this is what it takes to get the Followers of Christ involved than I am all for it. Hopefully the savings translates out of their churches and into their homes and workplaces as well.

As I child I went to church and the attraction was that my Dad would give me a nickel or dime so I could light a votive candle.   The cool part was when they were real candles, and I could take the punk stick, light up from another candle and then light mine.   Even though it was church, I got to play with fire.

Then they brought in some coin-op racks of votive "light bulbs" -- low watt bulbs inside of red Plexiglas cylinders designed to look the the original.   It was still fun to put the coin in the slot and watch the light go on...well, certainly more fun than Confession, or listening to the priest recite the Stations of the Cross.

Still, I guess kids today can now avoid boredom at St. Anthony's of Padua (my old church) and save the planet by lighting up a votive candle -- powered by a compact fluorescent bulb.
