That was one reason I wouldn't tithe to the Methodist Church when I was a member. I gave my tithe instead to the pastor's home renovation fund. I've known about the WCC for a long time and never did like them. Maryxxx
Tithing specifically to a local fund does no good. Cash is "fungible" meaning that your offering allowed someone elses offering to be sent to the national Methodist Church. I left the Methodist Church over this.
