Fr. Ron Gauss on Connecticut Assessments

Brad…one thing that never seems be reported correctly. Connecticut in 1985 went to a voluntary giving program. There is no assessment. The Diocese asks for 12.5% of our operating budget. of 177 parishes…91 do not meet that asking, 31 give Zero and the average is 9.5%. Even members of the standing committee give less that 8% of the asking.

Bishop Seabury Church gives what by law they can give. 98% of income is designated giving. Mission/outreach is 29% of the operating budget. Last month we gave the Diocese $47.00. The reason that bishop Smith couldn’t use that Diocesan Canon is that in order to get a committee of peers, he would have to find those who were giving at the Diocesan Asking, and what is the “requirement”. There is none.

Blessings…ron gauss…

[N. Theknow]

Formal charges by 19 Episcopal lay leaders and priests in Connecticut against the Rt. Rev. Andrew D. Smith, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, were sent Monday to the Rt. Rev. Frank Griswold, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church U.S.A. (ECUSA).

Isn't this like complaining to Satan about the actions of one of his lesser demons?
