Worth a Look 6.5.12
Kindle Deal of the Day: Orphanology: Awakening to Gospel-Centered Adoption and Orphan Care by Rick Morton and Tony Merida. $2.99. Here is my endorsement:

Church Finances 101: Strategic Budgeting
Often budgeting can digress into a time of mindless regurgitation of last year’s budgeted amount, when a pastor/director simply slides the amount in each line item over to a new budget or does some slight rearranging.

What you have said may or may not be factually wrong, but it is certainly morallywrong, or at the very least politically wrong, and you must apologize. Even if you are not wrong, you are in the wrong, and your interlocutor bears no responsibility to dignify your offensive comment with a reply.
