GA Committee on Mission Coordination and Budgets send report to
Assembly
by Bill Lancaster
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--The 210th General Assembly (1998) agreed with the
recommendation of its Mission Coordination and Budgets Committee Wednesday
to continue the Task Force on Churchwide Compensation Policy Guidelines for
four months. This will cost an estimated $29,700 in per capita funds.
At the same time, the Assembly referred the guidelines back to the task
force with the comments that they "re-evaluate the deletion of the minimum
wage clause," and "consider wage equity principles and formula guidelines
regarding salary ranges...."
Also referred to the task force were Overture 98-52 with two minor
amendments and Overture 98-61. Overture 98-52 from the Presbytery of San
Gabriel would direct the General Assembly Council (GAC) to follow current
guidelines in offering compensation to the GAC executive director. GAC
chair Fred Denson assured the Assembly committee Tuesday that the
compensation package being offered the executive director does fall within
the current guidelines.
Overture 98-61 from the Presbytery of Albany calls on the GAC to set a
maximum salary for all employees of 150 percent of the median salary of all
installed pastors. Since this would set a cap on salaries below some
current salaries, the overture advocate from that presbytery recommended
they set a cap without necessarily using the 150 percent figure.
Along with the two overtures, the Assembly referred to the task force
Communication 98-35 concerning these overtures from the Advisory Committee
on Social Witness Policy and the Advocacy Committee for Women's Concerns.
