Petition Text: 20791-FA-NonDis-O

Because the apportioned items to the local churches in our annual conference are paid in at considerably less than one hundred percent, the Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference is having to operate many of our programs and agencies at level funding, and others slightly above level funding.

Our conference has no control over apportioned askings from the General Conference. When local churches do not pay these items, or when the churches pay only part of the asking, our conference must pay the total apportioned askings to the general Church. This leaves the annual conference with less money to operate our programs. This has hampered us in several areas, but especially in the area of planting and developing new congregations.

We, therefore, meeting in session on March 7, 1995, call upon the members of the General Conference, meeting in 1996, to seek for level funding in the total apportioned budget to be sent to the churches during the upcoming quadrennium.
