Church Unable Raise Pensions
A May 28 report from Cincinnati shows a special committee reluctantly recommending that the Presbyterian Church in the U S A not increase pensions for retired and disabled ministers. The panel warned a $600 minimum to $1,200 would need a $21 million reserve boost and a 27 percent rise in joint church contributions, risking participation in the fund. The assembly is expected to approve. The church now pensions 1,848 ministers, with wide variance in actual pay, and the panel proposed $2 million to build homes for 300 impoverished ministers and spouses.
