Insurance for pastors from Chicago inspires plan for church life policy
Chicago church members subscribed to a five dollar and forty cent yearly life policy for their pastor funded by small weekly payments. The idea, aimed at supporting a pastor’s family if he dies, highlights concerns over clergy pay. Rev. William W. Wilson of St. Mark’s Church, killed earlier, is cited as a key catalyst for the proposal. Washington congregations have not yet adopted the plan, though several groups show interest.
