Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of Church Giving through 2009 (21st Edition, October 2011) includes the following: Chapters 1 through 5 update church member giving in the U.S. through 2009. The analyses include church member giving in recession year 2009 and a new analysis of church member giving in recessions, 11 denominations, 1921-1967. Other analyses include congregational support of denominational overseas ministries updated through 2009; a comparison of remittances by foreign-born with native-born church member giving; cost-per-day for various church populations to address evangelism and global needs such as preventing child deaths. Potential giving calculations are presented for all church members in the U.S., and also a specific analysis of Catholic giving in nine archdioceses. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey 2009 data for cash contributions to charity is analyzed by age, region, and income levels. The special focus chapter considers Jesus Christ¿s statement in Matt. 25:31-46 (parable of the sheep and goats) in light of church member giving patterns. Specifically, the implications for helping the 16 countries making no progress in decreasing the number of child deaths, with 10 of the countries being 84% Christian, are considered. Dynamics affecting church member giving and the level of mission support are reviewed. Some of these dynamics include the temptation of underperformance, and consideration of where the church in the U.S. may be on a commitment spectrum from early Christianity to paganism. Signs of hope are also presented. The appendixes present the data used in the analyses.

Book excerpt: Churches, and the United Church of Christ. Still, millions of parishioners have abandoned them in disgust. And the question is, why? Reeves attributes this crisis, in part, to the growth of a liberal church leadership whose political interests have distorted faith and orthodoxy and replaced them with political correctness. In the hands of liberal organizers, mainline churches have become bastions of "progressive" politics, wherein Christian teaching has lost out to.

The proposed solution might be summarized as: repent and mobilize.

Download or read book The State of Church Giving Through 2019 written by John Ronsvalle and published by Wipf and Stock. This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVERVIEW of The State of Church Giving through 2019: Serve God with Money At-Scale or Serve Money Chapters update church member giving and membership data in the U.S. through 2019, the year before the COVID pandemic set in. Analyses include:-- 1968-2019 data for a composite set of denominations: Per member giving was down in current dollars from 2018 to 2019.-- 1921-2019 data for 11 denominations: Once again, in the most recent year, per member giving as a percent of income was lower than in 1921 and in 1933, the depth of the Great Depression.-- Future trends: Membership and giving trends indicate continued decline in coming years.-- Denominational overseas ministries support through 2019: A broad set of churches continued to direct, on average, two cents of each dollar received on overseas missions.-- Cost-per-day for various church populations to address global needs: For example, 1.2 million child deaths could be prevented for 28¢ per day from church members in the U.S.-- Potential Catholic giving in ten archdioceses: Ten archdioceses in the U.S. would have had an additional $110 billion a year from parishioners in 2019, if giving had been at the classic 10% level.-- An analysis of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Expenditure Survey 2019, and cash contributions to charitable causes: Giving to "church, religious organizations," compared to gifts to "charities and other organizations" and "educational institutions," received the most support whether data was analyzed by age bracket, income level, or region of the country.-- Chapter 8 is the special focus chapter. The subtitle, "Serve God with Money At-Scale or Serve Money," sets the stage for the exploration of a topic that might give insight to the giving and membership trends presented in the first seven chapters. Citing data from Angus Maddison's The World Economy: A Millennial Perspective, the chapter explores the new challenge facing church members in the U.S.: their relationship to money in an unprecedented sea of affluence. Historical church leaders are quoted on the role of money and the church. However, currently the church in the U.S. has not offered a positive agenda for this affluence. The consequences of that lack of vision are explored, with implications for the church and society as a whole. It is suggested that the church in the U.S. is in a unique position to lead its members to help reduce, in Jesus' name, under-5 child deaths occurring from treatable causes, and thereby offer such a positive agenda. Lacking such an ambitious goal of serving God by using money at a scale that matches global need, it is posited that, in light of Jesus' statement recorded in both Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13, the alternative is for the church to serve Money.

Book excerpt: OVERVIEW of The State of Church Giving through 2018 Chapters update church member giving and membership data in the U.S., including:--1968-2018 data for a composite set of denominations;--1921-2018 data for 11 denominations;--Future trends;--Denominational overseas ministries support through 2018;--Cost-per-day for various church populations to address global needs;--Potential Catholic giving in ten archdioceses;--An analysis of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Expenditure Survey 2018, and cash contributions to charitable causes; and,--Chapter 8 is the special focus chapter, building on the information in the first seven chapters. The chapter presents an exercise using the question: What if Jesus returns in 2025? Acknowledging that no one knows the date of Jesus' return, the fact that three groups have chosen 2025 as a goal date for their efforts provides a reason to focus on that year. A discussion of missio Dei as a framework for discipleship sets the stage for setting goals for: Bible translations; engaging unengaged unreached people groups; and closing, in Jesus' name, the Promise Gap by reaching the target reduction goal for the global Under-5 Mortality Rate. A discussion follows of possible consequences that may develop if the church does not prepare, and alternatively, if the church does prepare, as if Jesus is coming back in 2025.
