Excerpt from Clerical Incomes: An Inquiry Into the Cost of Living Among the Parochial Clergy
The actual facts about the incomes of the clergy cannot be gathered from any mere col lection of statistics; they are known only to those who are brought into intimate contact with their home life. It seemed, therefore, that the best way to present them to the public would be to invite a certain number of leading churchmen who have special knowledge of the facts to write of what they know. Every contributor to this volume has been left free to treat the subject in whatever way he judged best. The cumulative evidence thus gathered from various dioceses will serve to show how serious the problem is with which we are con fronted. The Dioceses Of London, Manchester, Birmingham, Southwell, Norwich, and Salisbury were selected as typical of industrial and country dioceses; and the Bishops of Lichfield and Colchester, the Dean of York, Canon Partridge and the Rev. A. G. B. Atkinson have all been closely associated with the administrative work Of the Church.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This insightful book explores historical and ongoing issues with dismal compensation among clergy members of the Church of England. The author invited church leaders to share their personal experiences and the unfortunate and dire financial situations that they and their colleagues face, painting a grim picture of poverty within the ranks of the clergy. The book is structured so that each contributor focuses on a different and specific geographical area or administrative role within the church, providing a holistic view of the problem. The essays reveal that many clergy rely on private means or other forms of income to make ends meet and that many are living in poverty. The book includes a discussion of the historical context of clerical poverty, the inadequate endowment of benefices, and the rising cost of living. The author also explores possible remedies for the current situation, including the redistribution of existing church revenues, the provision of pensions and other forms of financial assistance, and the need for a fairer and more sustainable system of remuneration. By highlighting this critical issue, the book emphasizes the need for a more equitable distribution of financial resources within the Church of England to ensure that its clergy can live with dignity and focus solely on their spiritual duties.
