Deadline Nears for Responses to Resolution on Generosity

CHICAGO, IL (October 23, 2012) – The deadline for submitting responses about the Evangelical Covenant Church’s Resolution on Generosity and Stewardship is October 31.

Congregations have been studying the resolution and returning suggestions to the Christian Action Commission (CAC) before it submits a final draft at the Annual Meeting in June 2013.

Resolutions are prepared and reviewed over a two-year period to give time for the denomination to give deeper consideration to each. Delegates to the 2012 Annual Meeting offered input and will have an opportunity to do so again in 2013.

The Covenant website notes, “This resolution invites followers of Christ to live out our identity as generous stewards of God’s material and spiritual gifts.”

The CAC has published a one-page resource sheet and a discussion guide on the resolution for churches and individuals.

Feedback may be submitted online.
