  • The Revival of Stewardship and the Creation of the World Service Commission in the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1912-1924
    Methvdist History, 23:/ (July 1985) THE REVIVAL OF STEWARDSHIP AND THE CREATION OF THE WORLD SERVICE COMMISSION IN THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 1912-1924 STEPHEN PERRY Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes, who served as first president of the World Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, resided in the Chicago episcopal area when the Chicago Temple was dedicated. Years later, he remembered the day of the dedication and recalled, as he had entered the building, "a querulous voice, issuing from a man who gazed at the tallest church steeple in the world and said, " 'Where [in a cer­ ,j i tain location] do these [adjectival] Methodists get all their money?' "1 That, in a more analytical form, is the question of this essay, and the answer lies in the creation of Bishop Hughes' own World Service Commis­ sion during the early twentieth century. i i The World Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church I I constituted that church's budgetary authority and treasury from 1924 to ( j r ' 1939. It was also the direct ancestor of the General Council on Finance , _i and Administration of The United Methodist Church, and so its establish­ 1 I ment in 1924 marked a major beginning ofcentral financial administration in American Methodism. Like the present-day General Council on Finance and Adnlinistra­ tion, the World Service Commission formulated a budget for General Conference-level agencies in order to unify their fund-raising appeals to local churches. It calculated the apportionment of this budget ainong the annual conferences, treasured the funds raised on apportionment, and dis­ tributed them according to a budgetary formula to the church's national agencIes.
