Church-supported KAIROS: Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, announced on April 26 that four of 26 staff positions will be lost, along with refugee and anti-poverty grant programs.
The cuts are spurred by financial difficulties and are part of larger restructuring plans based on feedback from member churches.
Mary Corkery, executive director, said donations from churches have declined dramatically over the past several years as they struggle with their own financial crises. She thanked the Presbyterian Church for its particularly steady support throughout difficult times.
