Funding provided for regional staff will decline for most synods beginning in 2011 as cuts in Women’s Missionary Society funding take effect. A new formula for allocating funds was approved at a September meeting.
Each synod will receive enough funding for one staff person and the remainder will be distributed according to the membership of each synod, regardless of its geographic size.
The Synod of the Atlantic Provinces’ grant will rise by almost a quarter to $83,000 while declines range from 10 per cent or $15,000 in Central, Northeastern Ontario and Bermuda, to a 50 per cent loss of $74,000 in British Columbia. – C.P.
