The sole purpose of the plan
that of bridging the economic crisis
which confronts the church. It is
quite obvious that financial support
has net been forthcoming as liberally
as in the past, since incomes of the
parishioners have been curtailed, and
as a consequence abandonment has
been a serious threat in some of the
districts where funds were woefully
short of meeting fixed expenditures
Under the new financing proposals
a system of prorating has been adopt
ed. This will apply both to salaries
of pastors and to conference and gen
eral church budgets. Thus the strong
er churches can help sustain the
weaker institutions over the period
of the crisis. Subscriptions are fixed
and maximum expenditures are set
down. The plan permits shifting of
funds to the poorer districts, as the
need may demand, without, at the
same time, imposing hardships on
any of the more prosperous congrega
tions.
