The 2017-2020 budget for The UMC is based on the lowest apportionment rate in 16 years.
The United Methodist Reporter gives this account of the General Finance and Administration report to the General Conference.
“A positive message that sometimes seemed more like a motivational speech than a financial presentation, Moses Kumar, General Secretary of the General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA) made the pitch for the General Conference of the United Methodist Church to approve a budget for the ministries of the general church totaling $599 million over the next four years.
“Kumar drew on an African proverb to provide the theme for his presentation: “If you want to run fast, run alone. If you want to run far, run together.” Today I want to focus on what we as United Methodists do together, Kumar said.”
