If the pastor paid it out of his own pocket (doubtful) his only deduction savings is at best 50% depending on his personal income tax rate.

Every church I'm aware of, have all had a special expense account that the pastor uses for occassions like this, and is seperate from his take home pay.

According to Jeanie (who knew the original story), the church picked up the bill. That's why it was a big deal!!

I put the blame, if any on the pastor.
