GA96124              Mission Budgets Adopted 
 
 
ALBUQUERQUE--The 208th General Assembly approved a total of $114,409,468 
for the General Assembly mission budget and program in l996. 
 
     Mission budgets for l997 ($113,868,075) and l998 ($112,269,025) were 
approved with a comment that urges the General Assembly Council and its 
executive director to continue to evaluate all programs in light of the 
four priority goals set forth by the 205th General Assembly; and in light 
of the continuing changes in patterns of giving, to pay close attention to 
the impact of the reduction of staff upon ongoing programs and upon the 
existing staff responsible for these programs.  Further, the GAC is urged 
to communicate in an understandable way to the church at large the impact 
of budget reductions on programs and staff.   
 
     A motion was passed that directs the GAC to reprioritize existing work 
to ensure funding is available to cover the cost of all actions approved by 
the Assembly with financial implications totaling $66,595 for l996; 
$295,462 for l997; and $352,802 for l998.  Such costs should be funded from 
the approved l996-97-98 budgets; and the GAC is directed to report to 
future Assemblies on the implementation of all actions with financial 
implications.
