Religion in America Faces Budget Shortfalls as Giving Drops
Louis Cassels reports a nationwide decline in church contributions hitting major denominations. The Episcopal Church faced sharp 1970 budget cuts after 46 of 89 dioceses failed to meet quotas, with a deficit gap of about 3.28 million. Other denominations including United Methodist, United Presbyterian, and American Baptist also cut budgets. Catholic dioceses show deficits in cities like New York and Baltimore. Causes cited include distrust of leadership, disputes over mission and theology, inflation, and rising competition for donors.
