Neither Poverty Nor Riches: Compensation, Equity, and the Unity of the Church

Neither Poverty Nor Riches: Compensation, Equity, and the Unity of the Church

This report, approved by the 219th General Assembly (2010), responds to the assignment to “provide theological guidance to church and society with regard particularly to the impact of secular market assumptions on the compensation practices of the PC(USA).” It contains recommendations for building solidarity in the ministry by lessening inequality and increasing accountability in presbyteries and in Louisville. The study section looks carefully at Calvin and Reformed principles and at the varied policies of the six General Assembly agencies.
