Our church wants to put a real stone vaneer over a wall that is currently covered with paneling. The wall sits on a 4′ concrete slab. The wall would be about 8ft tall.
Without a footing would there be a problem putting that much weight on the slab?
Im thinking they might need to go with cultured stone.

Your thinking is right on. Although they probably might not have issues with the real stone, there are just too many unknowns. Slab thickness, reinforcement, etc....
alot of the weight is transfer to the wall
