PB Responds to UTO Concerns

From The Living Church-

A statement from the Presiding Bishop about United Thank Offering

The resignations of several members of the United Thank Offering Board in the past few days deeply distress me. They appear to be the result of grave suspicion and the attribution of inappropriate and unhelpful motives. 


The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (DFMS), and its elected and official leadership (the President of the House of Deputies, the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Officer of General Convention, the Treasurer, and I) have no intention of divesting the United Thank Offering of its funds or applying excessive controls to its practices. Our goal is the one that has continued from the beginning of this United Offering — to relieve suffering and help to build a series of ministries that “proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
