Cash exchange practices exist which build the money supply of the community. The building of the supply is done by adding value to the stream resources by labor or by capitalism. All these streams are means of gathering the work and resources of multiple persons into a common pool.

The Church supports persons involved in developing these cash streams within the community. The commercial community is understood as a community resource.
