Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This insightful book explores historical and ongoing issues with dismal compensation among clergy members of the Church of England. The author invited church leaders to share their personal experiences and the unfortunate and dire financial situations that they and their colleagues face, painting a grim picture of poverty within the ranks of the clergy. The book is structured so that each contributor focuses on a different and specific geographical area or administrative role within the church, providing a holistic view of the problem. The essays reveal that many clergy rely on private means or other forms of income to make ends meet and that many are living in poverty. The book includes a discussion of the historical context of clerical poverty, the inadequate endowment of benefices, and the rising cost of living. The author also explores possible remedies for the current situation, including the redistribution of existing church revenues, the provision of pensions and other forms of financial assistance, and the need for a fairer and more sustainable system of remuneration. By highlighting this critical issue, the book emphasizes the need for a more equitable distribution of financial resources within the Church of England to ensure that its clergy can live with dignity and focus solely on their spiritual duties.
