The Hazards of Being Paid to Pastor- David Fitch

Description

From the October 2010 Missional Learning Commons-

When a pastor gets paid a set of negative dynamics are set into motion. Power relationships develop within a community. There are expectations from people who “give.” Ministry can turn inward and into politics. All of this works against moving a community into mission. David Fitch offers a couple of observations and simple moves to subvert these dynamics.
