CHICAGO (ELCA) -- A mid-year budget reduction of $4.2 million in
current fund spending by the Church Council of the Evangelical 
Lutheran
Church in America (ELCA) has helped the churchwide organization 
maintain
a balance of income and spending for 2010 through Aug. 31, said 
Christina
Jackson-Skelton, ELCA treasurer.  However, in a report to ELCA 
leaders,
she expressed concern about continuing declines in mission support 
income
to the churchwide organization, down $5 million so far this year.

Fianlly they are reporting the truth. Oh, and they said to the delegates at the 2009 ELCA Assmebly that their vote would not affect the giving. With so many churches fleeeing to LCMC, NALC, AFLC, and even Mo. Synod, there is a drop in giving to the ELCA but not to mission and minsitry. Instead of paying for electric and heat at a huge building, and not paying for the salaries of people in that huge building, the money is fianlly being invested to make a difference for the Kingdom. They are not lost dollars, they are dollars invested where the rubber meets the road.
