How are/should preachers be paid
In another thread I expressed concerns about our local preachers and how they IMO abuse the church financially... Since it seemed to be a little off topic for that thread I thought I'd start a separate thread over here...
My examples of how this works have not set well with me. A preacher of retirement age who continues on by hiring out all the 'work' (preaching, hospital visits, etc.) but keeps the title and the money... another who tells my husband that every third dollar is his for personal use no matter how large the congregation grows or how much money that becomes... Both living in an upscale area far from the churches they pastor which are in mid-income areas... Essentially saying to me that they are too good to live among those they 'lead'. Not very Jesus like it seems...
So how does your pastor pay model work if you know, and what do you think about it.
