Dear Members of the Presbytery of the James,
Advent greetings.
As we on the Mission Council continue to work toward accomplishing the presbytery's objectives and to provide clear information, we want to report the following:
The mission council worked with an employment attorney to craft severance agreements for Rev. Dr. Flo Barbee-Watkins and Rev. Leigh Anne Ring that provide:
- Nine months of salary support
- Up to nine months of premiums for Board of Pensions benefits (these will discontinue if/when a new employer provides benefits)
The cost of these agreements, to be paid from the Church Ministry Development Fund, will be a projected maximum of $210,000.
In Christ's service,
Janet James, Moderator
Mission Council
Presbytery of the James
