Subject: 1 million dollar increase in giving?

http://www.cofchrist.org/news/10min/

"The Mission Initiative budget for fiscal year 2013 is in the July Herald. While most denominations are experiencing a downward trend in giving, Community of Christ has seen a $1 million increase in giving since last year."

Interesting. Are we quite sure that 1 million dollars wasn't dumped in there from the 41.5 million dollar sale of church property?

Right underneath the above announcement there is this one.
-------------

excerpt "Priesthood and members are receiving a special invitation in the mail in the United States and Canada. It includes a DVD of Apostle Linda Booth interviewing President Steve Veazey, who outlines the five Mission Initiatives. The letter invites people to prayerfully consider their true capacity and encourages those who feel called to increase their giving to Christ�s mission locally and worldwide."
-------------

Seems to be a preoccupation with money.
