LOL Okay you are ‘connetional’. But you still send money to the national leadership, and they still have spent it on some things I’m quite sure you wouldn’t be happy about.
I appreciate your good humor.
Honestly, though, we don’t send money to the national. We send money to our district and annual conference. The region (annual conference) has a “tax” they pay to keep denominational level cooperative agencies running (missionaries, charities, bishops’ fund and the like), BUT the region does not have to pay their entire bill. It’s voluntary.
The one exception is that one of the cooperative agencies might put out an appeal for something like Katrina Hurricane relief, and then an individual or a local church might send them money. But it is not required.
You got that right. I'm going to keep posting this list of National Council of Churches until every Freeper reading this wakes up to the danger they pose to this country and to peoples' salvation. They are not "churches" at all--they are a left wing political organization funded partly by George Soros. Need we say more. Keep feeding these "churces" and contribute to our demise.
