Religion In America Faces Giving Decline Across Major Churches
Religion writer Louis Cassels reports that giving to major denominations has leveled off or declined amid 5 to 6 percent inflation. The United Presbyterian Church cut overseas support from 16 million to 14.6 million in 1970, aided only by reserve funds. Inflation, budget squeezes, and a belief churches are already wealthy weigh on giving, with ministries and social programs at risk unless Americans boost church support.
