Dissecting The Diocese Of Upper South Carolina Budget

[Stand Firm] 10 Nov 2007--The membership must be wondering if the capitulation to 815 is symbolic of the choices this bishop will make as the future unfolds. Is the enormous increase in the budgeted pledge to the national church symbolic of the current relationship of the diocese/bishop to the national church/presiding bishop? Sources in the Diocese state that the bishop has made repeated appeals for this increase and convention delegates stepped right up to the plate sweeping aside the one amendment offered. Giving to TEC goes from $272,974 to $412,396--an increase of $139,422 (51%). Yes, you read it right. No typos. The next largest dollar increase was $26,121.
