Beef with (Protestant) Churches

Charity and I have been hunting for a church to get married in the past few weeks, and what I've come to realize is that pretty much all Protestant churches only operate during business hours. That's 9am-5pm if we're lucky, and most aren't even open that long.

This just seems totally odd to me. Are those of us who actually have to work pretty much out of luck till Sunday? Some churches aren't open on Saturdays either, or if they are, it's usually only from 9am-12pm.

I guess the church as a place of refuge (and therefore open all day) is primarily a Catholic idea. I'm beginning to see the benefits of a professional clergy...
