Presbyterian Church Faces Looming Financial Crisis
New York on July 9 a warning of a financial crisis within the Presbyterian church arose from a $1,240,000 indebtedness at year end. Rev. James G. Bailey said unless $12,000,000 is raised by 10,000 churches and 1,800,000 communicant members, disaster could strike. A $16,000,000 budget was deemed necessary to offset potential deficits and support missions and benevolent work. Contributions per member would need to rise from $5.84 to $8.03 to avert retreat in charitable efforts.
