Missouri Synod Sets Budget of S2O Million RIVER FOREST, Illinois. —a 1960 budget of $19,772,887 was adopted by district presidents, treasurers, stewardship counselors, and financial leaders of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod meeting this week at Concordia Teachers College, River Forest, Illinois. The figure represents a 19.8% increase over the current budget. Each of the ten Lutheran congregations in the Decatur area will send representatives to a meeting at the Senior College in Fort Wayne in September to determine budget allocations for their respective churches. The largest item in the budget is an appropriation for $9,517,500 for educational purposes. Os this amount, $8,939,225 is earmarked for operating expenses and capital investments for the Missouri Synod’s ten preparatory schools, two teachers training colleges, two theological seminaries, and a new preparatory school proposed for the Detroit area. The Synod proposes to spend $7,153,192 for missions during 1960. Os this amount, foreign missions will receive 1,932,750. Funds approved will provide four additional workers for New Guinea, three for Hong Kong, two for the Phillippines, and three for the Near East, a new field authorized by the recent San Francisco convention of the Synod. Lebanon is expected to be starting point. Lutheron Television Productions, producers of the Synod’s television program THIS IS THE LIFE, will receive $811,025 for 26 dramatic one half-hour Hollywood-produced film episodes. The program, soon to begin its eighth year, is currently carried on approximately 300 stations. Contrary to the trend of higher budgetary requests, the Synod's Board of Support and Pensions asked for a smaller amount of subsidy of its operations for 1960. The Missouri Synod established its pension system in 1935 and now pays retired workers SIOO per month. The difference between this sum and the average earned annuity of 42.17 per month is made up through synodical subsidy. Officials predict that the Synod’s pension Adr
