Episcopal News Service. August 22, 1996 [96-1550G]
On Saturday, October 19, people from churches all around the country will participate in a television conference, transmitted via satellite, that will address "one of the most important issues that will affect religious life in the 21st century: the intergenerational transfer of some $10 trillion in the next fifteen years," according to William G. Andersen, Jr., executive director of the Episcopal Church Foundation. According to Andersen the conference, entitled "The Future of Episcopal Philanthropy", is designed for diocesan and parish leaders, stewardship committees, clergy, and potential donors. "The goal of the conference is to enlighten the religious community and to ensure that the abundance with which God has blessed us during this lifetime can be used to further the church's work during the lifetime of our heirs," he said.
