Church approves rise in minister stipends
The Methodist Conference increased minister stipends to offset rising living costs. Married ordained ministers rise from £500 to £600, single or ordained ministers from £400 to £500, and probationers from £380 to £480. Circuits are advised these are minimums and higher, quarterly reviewed stipends should be paid where possible.
Minister Supports River Diversion Rejection in Manning Valley
Minister for Conservation George Weir writes that landholder fears in the Manning River valley are unfounded and that cooperation exists with Gloucester Shire Council against diverting Gloucester and Barrington Rivers to the Chichester catchment. He notes the proposal is unlikely for many years and that after Glendown Dam completion there will still be little justification to divert Barrington River water to the Hunter for irrigation.
