Presbyterian Church (USA) is trimming staff:
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) said Monday that 75 employees at its headquarters will lose their jobs as $9.15 million in budget cuts have forced the denomination to reorganize its mission program.
In addition, nine unfilled jobs at headquarters were being eliminated, along with 55 overseas mission positions — 40 of which were being lost either through retirements or end of assignments, the church said....
It was the third round of job cuts in four years at church headquarters.
A sad day for those being laid off, to be sure, but it reflects a downward trend for the old liberal mainline denominations.
