Hey Jeff.
Intersting stuff!
Back in January of this year (2006) I did an article entitled “Pastoral Salaries – Or The Lack Thereof” ( http://www.christianblog.com/blog/abelajohnb/pastoral-salaries-or-the-lack-thereof/ ) in which I did a non-official break-down of pastoral salary rates within the Assemblies of God fellowship.
A friend than did a follow-up of it entitled “Examining Assemblies of God statistics on growth” ( http://tatumweb.com/blog/index.php/2006/01/03/examining-ag-statistics-on-growth/ ).
Anyway, thought you might enjoy reading what is going on over in our neck of the Kingdom.
