trying to derail this post, but it came across my mind this past weekend.
(for reference, I was in a church running sound for a church convention about how to recruit and accept Latinos/Hispanics into the Episcopal church.)
The question though is do Pastors typically pay tithes and offerings as well? In all my years of church, both backstage and in the congregation, I don't personally recall a Pastor putting tithes in the plate.
I'm assuming (if anything) that they maybe have it deducted from their pay? or like put into the pot to make ends meet if necessary. Or I guess it's also possible that they don't *have* to since they are presiding over the church (not in any negative way).
I guess that is to say what would be nice from a pastor is full disclosure and transparency. That and the purpose to be one to serve the church, not to have the church serve them. Your church shouldn't be your building, it should be your congregation.
