Indeed. Plus the asker didn't copy in the list but replied to me 
directly asking "Why not?"

I replied with:

Because the Church is one entity and it owns both accounts?

Because GnuCash is designed to handle multiple Asset accounts?

Because opening 2 instances is more complicated than opening just one?

Because a transfer from one account to the other would be easier in the 
same instance?
