PRESBYTERIANS HAVE LAUNCHED M 5-YEAR-PLAN'' IIOI'K TO IMH'RI.K TOTAL LIVE OK MEMBEIC8 BV MMii B> I xnis CasscK Tlio PrcMbv'tcrian Church in the United States embarked this month on a “five-year plan” that many denominations would consider hopelessly idealistic. It iff asking its three million members to double their total giving to church work by 1962. The Presbyte* ns have the best possible rea. ♦'or believing H can be done: They've done it before. In 1950, the so-called rtGrlhern

Presbyterians were giving about 100 million dollars a year for lo- ' cal. national and foreign enterprises of their church. Last year, they gave more than 220 million dollars. Although the denomination haf» grown in size during that period, most of the jump in its budget reflects more generous giving. The present per capita giving figure of $72.03 a year is one of the highest to be found in major Protestant bodies. It compares, tor exajuple. with $52.79 for Episcopalians. $43.82 for Methodists, and $48.17 for Southern Baptists. Behind the remarkable Presbyterian record is a new concept of church finance pioneered by the Rev. Dr. John Thompson Peters secretary of stewardship and promotion. Before Peters took charge eight years ago, the denomination fol-

'lowed the custom which still prevails in most Protestant bodies. Each year it would adopt a budget for the coming year, hopefully making the total a little larger than the previous one. This national total was then parcelled jut among the S.600 local Presbyerian churches. When the goal vas reached, the drive was described as a success and everyone rested until the next year. Under Peters' leadership, the Presbyterians switched to an “open end’’ budget. Each year the national church proposes a •basic program" which simply maintains the^ status que. At the amc time "advance programs” aie laid before the denomination n the basis of "Here are some hings which we ought to do. and vhich we will do if we get the money.” The advance programs arc spelled out in detail. Thus Presbyterians know that n 1958. if they give more than he bare minimum requirements r epresented by the basic program, they will be helping to expand missions in W T e s t Africa, lapan. Iran. Chili and 30 other ountries; to build new churches n mushrooming U. S. suburbs • ind support missions in teeming nner-city slums; to expand the facilities and strengthen the faculties) of 41 eh'Urch-related colleges; to train thousands of ; church school teachers and other ' lay leaders. Beyond the ‘advance program for 1958" is a list of long-range projects in Christian education, home and foreign missions which will be undertaken when the money is available. The effect of this approach is to disabuse any church member of the comfortable idea that the denomination’s budget represents all that really should be done this

year.

The open end budget is a constant reminder that the responsibilities and needs of Christian service are unlimited. The individual member is able to see a direct relationship between the size of his own contribution and (he extent to which the church l can obey Christ's command to proclaim the gospel to every livj ir,g creature. This, according to Dr. Peters, •s the only basis for “true Chris-

tian stewardship/* ‘•The church is not a club to which we pay fixed dues,” he said. “Giving is part of our discipleship, and act of worship, an expression of gratitude to God.”
