GAC Committee Tables Administrative Fee Proposal

The General Assembly Council Mission Support Services Committee has tabled a proposal to add a 5% administrative costs fee on to restricted funds.

The action to table, taken today in a unanimous vote following presentations by Dr Louis Weeks, president of Union-PSCE, Rev. Dan Force of Medical Benevolence Foundation, and this writer offered extended comments to the MSS committee.

The action gives John Detterick, chair of the GAC, time to convene various consultative meetings with various constituent groups - including middle governing body leaders, validated mission support group leaders and boards, seminary officials, and other interested parties.
The hope is that a creative solution will emerge which addresses the multiple factors in this issue.

My personal thanks to the GAC MSS Committee for its helpful vote and thanks, also, to the many who were praying over this decision.
