A Simpler Formula

Re Council Budgets for 2014, January

As the former stewardship convenor for the Presbytery of Pickering, I heartily applaud the decision of the Assembly Council to consider asking churches to allocate 10 per cent of their revenue to Presbyterians Sharing. The former allocation requests were largely beyond the ability of most congregations to pay, so I as a stewardship convenor, along with the presbytery committee, devised a more “manageable” arrangement for our churches. With this new change such tinkering with the requests of church offices should be a thing of the past.
