10-262-JB

    CHICAGO (ELCA) -- A mid-year budget reduction of $4.2 million in
current fund spending by the Church Council of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America (ELCA) has helped the churchwide organization maintain
a balance of income and spending for 2010 through Aug. 31, said Christina
Jackson-Skelton, ELCA treasurer.  However, in a report to ELCA leaders,
she expressed concern about continuing declines in mission support income
to the churchwide organization, down $5 million so far this year.
