After about 1950 the amount of money spent locally rose, but the amount of money sent to support denominational programs did not. The reason is that congregational costs increased. Compensation for pastors rose, the loss of volunteers required more staff, and expectations rose concerning qualifications of staff. Time series regression analysis confirmed the importance of these factors.
