Start abstract, and start fleshing out what it looks like in practice. Government services are absolutely important. At no point, did I say that fraternal organizations and churches could do it alone.

You asked if a community would be better served with any religious temple, or a public community centre. I just dont see how, if you want a community to welcome people of all backgrounds, that answer can be anything but the public centre. It can even serve as meetings for people with any number of affiliations, including religious ones.
