In a modernization initiative, St. John's Church in Brasov has installed a POS terminal to allow parishioners to make donations by card. The terminal, located next to the traditional mile box, offers donation options of 5, 10 or 15 lei. This is in response to the trend of decreasing cash usage. While online reactions have been largely positive, there has also been criticism about the transparency of the funds. The initiative reflects the need for religious institutions to adapt to current social and technological changes.
