Hi. Do you usually visit charity or thrift shops to either buy or donate things?
no, A charity shop or thrift shop is a retail establishment run by a charitable organization
Yes. I occasionaly stop by to donate things or pick up cheap things that I find interesting; like a salvation army store.
wow...A Salvation Army brass band is a brass band affiliated with a Corps
The salvation army is affiliated with a corps?
yes but The Salvation Army is a Protestant Christian denomination and an international charitable organisation
That is interesting. I have not known many protestant christian organizations.
really, Protestantism is the second largest form of Christianity with collectively more than 900 million adherents worldwide 
That is interesting. What would be the largest form of christianity?
yes, Christians make up a majority of the population in 158 countries
