A CTI survey finds that the average senior pastor makes more than $80k annually. A couple questions this Christian Post
story doesn't answer:
- $80k is the mean. What's the median?
- If you were to eliminate from the formula all televangelists who make the kind of money that is liable to, say, get them investigated by Republican senators, what would the mean be then?
Obviously, a simple average number like this one can be pretty skewed by just a handful of astronomically high outliers. Still: $80,000?! For folks w/ a job description that includes preaching the immanence of a kingdom not defined by worldly standards of wealth and value? Sad.
Pastor Allen gotta get paid, son.
ReplyDeleteWell, you know, it's a long way from $5 million. The needle's eye is pretty big these days.
ReplyDeleteMuch love, brother. Sorry I haven't written. But I've been reading you religiously.
