PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, DECEMBER 16,
1986
On page 93, next to last paragraph, "the Old Covenant made at Mount
Sinai..." now reads: "the Covenant made at Mount Sinai....
"
God, in
point of fact, did not make an "Old Covenant." It became that much
later when a New Covenant superseded it.
On page 143, in the sixth paragraph under the subhead, the second
sentence now reads: "It is a plural form often with singular usage."
The last sentence above the subhead on page
187
now reads: "...'in the
latter days'--this pulsating time in which we are living now and the
years just ahead."
Several pagination changes occur in the index, usually one page higher,
due to copy editing.
Al so,
in the index on page 204, under "Elohim,"
the word "uni-plural" is replaced by "plural."
And
on page 205, under
"Life," the words "probably first" are deleted.

REPORT FROM THE TREASURER'S OFFICE
We have just completed a series of very successful meetings with the
regional directors. You have no doubt read about them previously. One
morning was devoted to a workshop session with directors and their
business managers, and the department heads from Financial Services. We
presented business and financial material of common interest and concern
to the international men. This proved to be very profitable from our
point of view, and
I
believe for them as well.
During the meetings each regional director and business manager
submitted the proposed 1987 budgets to the budget team. This
information, along with budget submissions by all
U.S.
departments, will
be presented shortly to
Mr.
Tkach for the final setting of next year's
budget.
