Chattanooga, A New Hymn Written
for the Diocese of East Tennessee
A Gift to the Diocese from St. Paul’s, Chattanooga

The 19th Annual Convention will be asked to consider a $1,705,053 budget, which was approved by the Bishop and Council at its December meeting. The 2003 budget is increase of $75,649 the 2002 budget.

The diocesan budget depends largely on voluntary commitments made by parishes. Projections for the 2003 budget are based on receiving at least 90 percent of what the parishes were asked to give.

As of press time, the diocese had received 24 out of 46 parish commitments. Financial Administrator Mary Berl said the commitments were “very encouraging. Most of them are the full asking.”

Two budget hearings will be held prior to and during the convention on Friday, Feb. 7 at 4 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 8 at 8 a.m.
