CP is at 94.15% of SBC’s budget goal
NASHVILLE (BP) – Year-to-date contributions to Southern Baptist national and international missions and ministries received by the SBC Executive Committee are $30,050,253.40 or 94.15 percent of the year-to-date SBC Cooperative Program Allocation Budget goal, and are 1.75 percent below contributions received during the same time frame last year. The year-to-date total represents money received by the Executive Committee by the close of the last business day of November and includes receipts from state conventions, churches and individuals for distribution, according to the 2013-14 SBC Cooperative Program Allocation Budget. The $30,050,253.40 received by the Executive Committee from the start of the fiscal year, Oct. 1, through Nov. 30 for distribution through the Cooperative Program Allocation Budget represents 94.15 percent of the $31,916,666.67 year-to-date budgeted amount to support Southern Baptist ministries globally and across North America. The total is $535,768.28, or 1.75 percent less than the $30,586,021.68 received through the end of November 2013. Designated giving of $36,957,899.34 for the same year-to-date period is 1.05 percent, or $393,455.27, below the $37,351,354.61 received at this point last year. This total … [Read more...]
More evidence in the abortion-breast cancer debate
By Staff, World News Magazine Tianjin, China – Chinese researchers have thrown their weight into an already contentious debate over abortion and breast cancer. In China, where breast cancer has increased sharply in recent years, a new review found that women who had an induced abortion were 44 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than those who didn’t. Cancer Causes & Control published the review – a meta-analysis of 36 Chinese studies of abortion and breast cancer – online late last month. Yet most mainstream media have ignored the review, unwilling to explore a link many pro-abortion researchers have dismissed. In doing so, America’s media may be ignoring an important body of evidence in abortion and breast cancer (sometimes called ABC) research. “From a methodological standpoint, this looks like a very good piece of work, and it leaves me with the conclusion that there is an association between induced abortion and breast cancer,” Gene Rudd, the senior vice president of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, said in commenting on the study. Rudd has been skeptical of some previous studies that either have or haven’t shown a cancer link to abortion. The ideological views of authors can bias their … [Read more...]
