When it comes to our IMB and global ministries (including relief) we have one of the best things going. I know the IMB has been criticized (the trustees, at least) by some for some of the policies and stuff in recent days, but I still believe this is the one thing that we are doing in SBC life with complete and total excellence (and without multiple layers of wasteful redundancy). And, yes, we do have the ability to designate to the ministries / entities of our choice. But I don't think such gifts "measure up" when it comes to the analysis of churches or pastors for "power" or "honor" positions at any SBC level. CP% giving is being (has been) used as a denominational loyalty measure ... except at the "top" ... when it comes to electing presidents and such (until last year, anyway...) David,

That's the way it use to be, anyway. That's why instead of giving to all the Red Cross/United Way/Care programs, Southern Baptists stand tall in sending 100% of money to aid people in World Hunger when money is directed there. And then there is the added luxury we have as autonomous churches that we can designate money to particular groups such as Disaster Relief Teams or Journeymen. Correct me if I'm wrong. selahV Geoff: And if I’m not mistaken, the reason 100% of the Lottie Moon Offering goes overseas to help our missionaries is because the Cooperative Progam already has in place the administrative offices needed to direct the funds via the other boards we have.

Sorry! I do not know anywhere to obtain such a list. Some state conventions are very shy about publishing their stats. Gosh, Geoff,
