Re: How are/should preachers be paid
As far as how money is handled:
As long as the financial arrangements are satisfactory to both the leadership and the congregation, I don't care how it's worked out. (As long as everything is done legally.)
The only time we even need to have an opinion is when something is handled in a way that hurts the pastor, his family, the congregation or the community. If someone's being hurt--then yes, something needs to change. Otherwise, let the local church decide how the money THEY contribute should be handled and doled out.
