Description
Slide breaking down the average amount of contribution the Presbyterian Church in Ohio expects from its congregants, using the Biblical one-tenth tithing system. The slide compares the average contribution per person actually received on weekly basis (31c) to what the contribution per person would amount to if it were actually equal to one-tenth of their average weekly wages (Average $7.69, Anticipated Contribution 76c). It then notes a difference of $3,136,256 between the total actual contributions the Church has received from its congregants and what it would anticipate to have raised if all congregants were contributing one-tenth of their wage equally. This image comes from a collection of ten slides pertaining to Wooster missions.
