A Lithuanian priest advocates for church institutions arguing against new electricity charges as they are treated like commercial entities instead of community service organizations.
In Lithuania, a significant debate is emerging regarding the role of the church in the 21st century spurred by new energy charges imposed on religious institutions. The priest from Šėta raises fundamental questions about whether churches should operate as for-profit entities or serve the public good, highlighting a crucial systemic issue within the country's approach to religious organizations. After many attempts to engage with government ministries regarding these new charges, there is still uncertainty about the outcome of his appeals, with only limited responses from officials.
