Benevolence Fund Policy
The Benevolence Policy is not intended to be cumbersome or to impair the discretion of the clergy in carrying out the work of ministry. Rather, it is intended to protect both churches of the Diocese and the clergy in the face of increasing scrutiny. Ignorance or omission in regard to handling funds is no excuse, and can be costly to all involved.
