@Knittinggrace That was about 20 years ago. My friend said he was working parttime there as a preacher getting $30k per year (small texas town). Not long after that, this "minister" told the congregation he wanted to move to another city to work there (preach for money at a diff. Church), only preach at their place about once a month, whereas he had been preaching three times a week, and work much less, but still get $30k/yr. It was obvious even to a casual observer that this would probably be a burden to this handful of people....They declined his "offer", but i dont think they learned any lessons!
