Are you trying to suggest that part time ministers do not put in the necessary sacrifices for their voice to be heard?

BE: MP is correct in his last post; you could vote if you had a letter from your pastor.
Most of my posting is to be explanatory of the current system, which is a Pastoral system. Maybe we ought to just waive the dues of all ministers that are ineligible to vote - that would make more sense.
