There was no Church in the debauched fishing village of Filey but a man with passion for God arrived from Bridlington - then afterwards the buildings came and denominations came and man ruled man again and the Holy Spirit stepped back letting them have what they desired. Supervising the Holy Spirit is never going to work in any denomination is it? To the arrival of buildings and denominations (so I'm not the only one who "harps on about denominations" ) you could well have added 'the arrival of an employed and salaried hierarchy').

I think a worker is worth his wages, whenever I have been gifted anything from a congregation for work that I have done it has always been adequate if not more than adequate.
I do believe that many pastors could quite easily do secular work because there is so little need for them within the local congregation throughout the week yet they busy themselves with the bigger organisation possibly as a job creation exercise for something to do and be seen doing.
Some are genuinely busy shepherding but many are not.
