FT. MYERS, Fla. (PNS) Thomas C. Paisley, chair of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Board of Pensions (BOP) has announced the appointment of a special committee of the board to consider same-gender benefits under the BOP’s healthcare and pension plans.
The nine-member special committee will be charged with developing the BOP’s response to this summer’s action by the 219th General Assembly “to urge the Board of Pensions to extend benefits to same-gender domestic partners of plan members and to the children of those same-gender domestic partners.”
The BOP originally referred the Assembly's recommendation to its Pension Committee but then decided to create the special committee “because this issue cuts across many of our duties,” said Frank Maloney, BOP executive vice-president and chief operating officer.
Special committee members, drawn from several of the BOP's committees, are Frank S. James III, Vestavia Hills, Ala., chair; Anne S. Drennan, Newtown, Pa.; John A. Huffman, Newport Beach Calif.; Claude C. Lilly III, Clemson, S.C.; Christopher M. Mason, New York City; Carol Sheffey Parham, Annapolis, Md.; Nancy M. Rhodes, McLeansville, N.C.; Laird J. Stuart, San Anselmo, Calif.; and Paul B. Volker, Boone, Iowa.
