In my church growing up they would have a meeting in front of the congregation announcing the pastor’s finances, raises, expenses, etc. Necessary I suppose for openness when it came to asking for the donations.
My old man didn’t like it. “Some folks will think he’s overpaid, and other folks will think he’s underpaid. I doubt too many will think ‘Yeah - that’s the correct salary for him.”
The members absolutely must know the pastor’s salary — and every other penny in the budget.
