The Wages of Parsons and a World Beyond Pay
A discussion on minister salaries cites the average American preacher earning 663 dollars a year, with higher wages in cities and many earning far less. The piece argues ministers should focus on practical Christianity and social reform instead of insisting on higher pay, noting the world pays deeds over words and suggesting ministers read the Sermon on the Mount more and tackle child labor and wages issues. It also touches on contemporary politics, sports humor, and a remark about Darbey Thielman’s prison record affecting his averages.
