Laid-off Presbyterian Center staffers

28 people with a total of 348 years of service to the church

by Jerry L. Van Marter

LOUISVILLE - The 28 Presbyterian Center employees whose jobs were eliminated
in the General Assembly Council's budget-reduction plan have worked for the
Presbyterian Church USA for a total of 348 years.

	They received formal notice of termination this morning. The GAC's
executive committee signed off on the two-year plan during a weekend meeting
here.

	The plan permanently reduces the General Assembly 2005-'06 mission
budget by $4.6 million, to $114.4 million. Commissioners to the upcoming
216th General Assembly in Richmond will be asked to endorse the GAC plan.

	One of the employees will continue working, at least temporarily.
Catherine Cottingham, whose name is on the "Reduction in Force" list, will
continue as managing editor of Presbyterians Today magazine. That position
was eliminated, not as part of the downsizing, but because of a
reorganization that will add three new jobs to the PT staff. Cottingham is
eligible for one of the new jobs.
