That would be close. We do have some attendees though that tithe like most Christians tip their waitress. You know the kind, a dollar no matter how big the bill.

Waitresses are like Elephants. They remember. If you are a regular at a restaurant and you are a lousy tipper, then the chances are you have eaten a loogie or two in your lifetime.

There is no worse witness than a man who publicly prays over his food and then leaves the restaurant without giving a generous tip. The absolute worst witness is the guy who leaves a tract instead of a tip. There is a special place in hell reserved for that guy.

Keep in mind this survey said SENIOR pastors. Most pastors are serving a church by themselves, not as part of a larger staff. So this is really just a figure that describes a small selection of pastors, and is limited to the more experienced of that subset.

My guess is that the average pastor is FAR below this figure. At least, that's the case for all the pastors I have known (in two dissimilar denominations, and while serving on church council and as treasurer at two churches).

Managed restaurants for 8 years, half of them before I was a Christian. Seen 'em all.

As far as the 20k vs 200k topic, we do have some unsaved in the crowd too. But we have seen big improvements in that area this past year.
