Bishop urges ministers to raise funds for foreign missions
The Methodist Episcopal Church in Cincinnati faces a $800000 shortfall as World Service gifts for foreign missions dip by over 500000 in under two years. Bishop Theodore Henderson urges pastors to convene boards, solicit house-to-house offerings, or take salary cuts to support missionaries and prevent closures of pagan-land schools and churches. Laid out in a August 16 letter, the plan targets clergymen and lay leaders, with a Sept 1 West Ohio Conference discussion in Lima.
