Hello All
I wondered if any of you had any wisdom to share regarding the
recommendation from Conference regarding churches helping out the Methodist
Ministers Pension Scheme.
Some loud voices in my Circuit have made it clear they do not support this
and will be proposing the Circuit meeting refuses to help. Their claim is
that this decision will in no way jeopardize the Methodist Pensions.
I don't really know anything about pensions, so I can't reply with any
authority, but I can't help thinking it must do - otherwise they wouldn't
be asking and also that to refuse help will make Ministers in the Circuit
(of whom thre are many Supernumaries the Circuit couldn't function without)
feel undervalued.
I'd value your thoughts.
