Okay, so we can afford $600 per hour but we can't come up with $500 per month? Just where are the priorities of 815 here? Property & power or mission & ministry? You decide.
Then the NATIONAL CHURCH announced this week that its missionary operating budget is being dramatically cut. Compensation to its missionaries being cut, prompted concerns over equity, and budget constraints. According to a letter from the Rev. David Copley, Anglican and Global Relations mission personnel officer, sent to all overseas missionaries, the church will no longer pay them a monthly stipend (about $500, in most cases) or cover their airfare, relocation expenses, language study, vaccinations, and any health expenses not covered by insurance. You can read the full story in today's digest. Do note however that there is plenty of money in the budget for lawsuits and David Booth Beers who demands $600 an hour (with a discount of course) for his legal services. How long do you think the missionary enterprise will last with these cuts? It was woeful to begin with. It will only get worse.
