Does anyone know of any church-affiliated credit unions that do not confine membership to those only that are in the same state of the institution?
Many "field of memberships" for church-based credit unions are written to include people who belong to the church without regard to the state in which they live. You can try this link to find a credit union in your area:
http://www.joinacu.org/
The search tool allows you to put in information about your church so you can look for a credit union that can serve you based on that information.
Good luck.

Try asking each question separately, you may get more answers.
I had thought whatever went on in the confessional was confidential, but heard on the news that a man who robbed a credit union confessed to a priest and the priest called the police. I had thought any thing confessed was sacrosanct.
clusium1971...Seal? Similar to having one's criminal records/adoption records sealed? One has to reques this?
LH Catholic: Was on the TV news, but it can be Googled as several newspapers ran the story....He confessed handed the priest 12K and left and the priest called the cops.
:
They are confidential- a priest who reveals a confession is usually excommunicated.
The priest merely encouraged the robber to do thew right thing and turn himself in. He did not turn the robber in himself.
Step One: The banks fail because Barney Frank, Chris Dodd & their liberal cohorts force the banks to make $0 down, an initial low interest rate which escalated every month, resulting in the value of our homes disintegrating, foreclosures run rampart and now the government feels they need to bail these people out.
Step two: We borrow trillions from China to bail out the banks so that they will start lending again. We the people will be taxed for generations just to pay this back. So what do the banks do, they begin to lend again on homes, businesses, credit cards etc. The we have higher interest rates and more increased taxes on everything we purchase.
Step three: We the people must now be taxed on the electricy we use which will total anywhere from $40.00 to $100.+ a month. We will have to be taxed more on gasoline to get to work so we can pay more taxes.
Step Three: The government will take our insurance from us resulting in more taxes taken from our pay for universal Medicare for which our services will be limited. Obama simply exchanged the HMO clerical gatekeepers to Government clerical gatekeepers.
Step four: We still have to deal with Social Security which the government ran to the ground and Medicaid which has been blatently abused supporting those who will not work and have a baby every year to increase their income.
Step five: Now we must fix our school system which began failing under all the liberal agenda mandated, reducing class size which made no difference. We must be taxed further to support the teachers union who helped put the Democrats in office.
Step Six: We must also repay ACORN and the ACLU who put these same liberals in office.
Step Seven: We can no longer take a tax credit for charitable deductions. There goes my donations to St. Jude's Childrens Hospitals and the Shriners Hospital and the ASPCA, Charles Colson's Prison Ministry, Catholic Social Services, etc. Instead I'm supposed to give it to the liberal democrats will skim off the top for themselves and put government restrictions on these charities to comply with there liberal agenda.
How far out in left field am I? Have you thought about this? Is it what you want?
You've got it all doll! Couldn't agree more in your evaluation! it's not what I want or expect from them but you make me have hot flashes

Qld Catholic teachers#39; union to meet employers - CathNews
The Queensland Independent Education Union will today meet with employing authorities from 23 schools across the state to negotiate better wages for experienced teachers.
More than 1000 teachers from 43 of the state's 288 Catholic schools stopped work last Wednesday over the pay deal, and have withdrawn from co-curricular activities indefinitely in protest, said an AAP report in the Sydney Morning Herald.
The union wants experienced teachers to be eligible for an $84,800 salary, but their employers are only offering $83,800 after 14 years of teaching.
"We're looking for an alternative offer that would recognise the contribution of experienced teachers and in particular access to a higher classification point and earlier access to a leading teacher allowance," union secretary Terry Burke told AAP.
