Retired Ministers of Episcopal Church to receive pensions
Right Rev Edward Fawcett announced from St Johns cathedral that the Episcopal Church plans a pension system for retiring clergy. A census shows 4420 active clergy with average compensation $1200 yearly. 700 earn under $1000 and only 237 bishops and senior priests exceed $4000. The plan is contributory, with parishes paying about seven percent more, and aims to raise $5 million in 1916 led by Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts.
