Rockefeller gift to aged pastors sparks clarification
Dr. John Y. Aitchison explains Rockefeller's $2,000,000 donation to the Ministers and Missionaries Board is an outright gift for aging clergy and dependents, not the provisional $2,000,000 toward the $6,000,000 Victory Campaign Fund. The board already supports retired pastors while fund-raising continues for the remainder.
