Church of Scotland Congregations Face £1m Cutbacks
The Church of Scotland's Council of Assembly is to seek approval for a £1m reduction in the sum paid by congregations into the Church of Scotland's overall budget for 2008.
Last year's Assembly endorsed a freeze in the overall level of congregational contributions, as part of a determined policy of maximising the resources available for local church work across the country.
The Church of Scotland's commitment to strengthening the church at the local level is to be emphatically re-emphasised this year with a planned £1 million reduction in congregational contributions outlined in the Council of Assembly's report to the Assembly.
