Pastor: Brother that is a good point, maybe we should keep it quiet
Board member #2: Well the press already knows and they are wondering what you are going to do with the money.
Pastor: (Carpenter: I better stop here)  |
What if it's a UPC church which is not "board run" and the pastor gets all the tithes? That large tithe windfall would have no effect on meeting expenses for running the church and would be no excuse for members to cut back on their offerings.
