Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical account of a conflict between a pastor and his church's consistory over financial support. In an environment where it was customary for ministers to receive payment partly in the form of non-monetary offerings, the author argues that his salary falls short of what was promised to him upon entering the role. The author traces the history of his congregation and the financial obligations of the church to its ministers. The book also contains the author's personal reflections on the nature of religious ministry and his own sense of vocation. It concludes with an appeal to readers to consider the importance of supporting their religious leaders.
