Episcopal clergy pension plan launches nationwide drive
Bishop Lawrence unveiled a $5,000,000 pension fund for Episcopal clergy as 50 bishops preached similar sermons across cathedrals and parishes. The plan creates a Church Pension Fund funded by a 7 percent parish contribution, offering half salary in retirement to clergy at 68 with survivor benefits, and aims to cover 5808 clergymen nationwide by 1916. Lawrence will direct the drive this year, pausing his diocesan duties to lead pledges over five years.
