A new survey of evangelical leaders shows most would give more to the poor if government programs that help the needy are cut back.
The Evangelical Leaders Survey, a monthly poll of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Evangelicals, indicates that "of the 78 percent that said their (evangelical leaders) churches or denominations would increase giving, 29 percent included qualified support, such as 'if we can possibly afford to add to our giving' or 'I sure hope we would,'" according to a released statement from the association.
The statement continues:
Those polled in the January survey include leaders of denominations and representatives of evangelical organizations including missions, universities, publishers and churches, according to the NAE.
