Resolution R-2: Minimum Clergy Compensation
(View
without markup)
BE IT RESOLVED that the 110th Diocesan Convention,
meeting in Covington, Kentucky, February 23-25, 2006, authorize
directs the Diocesan Executive Council
to establish each calendar year minimum clergy compensation (salary
and housing) guidelines and for the year
2006 to they become effective July 1,
2006 and for successive years to they
become effective January 1st of each year.
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that
the Diocesan Executive Council establish the guidelines with the
intent that the full-time rector and any full-time assistants of a
congregation shall be paid a salary for each in an the
amount not less than the minimum salary adopted for Transitional
Deacons by the Council.
EXPLANATION
Some of our Diocesan congregation clergy salaries do not meet the
needs of the minimum standard of living. If we have a diocesan
minimum it will allow vestries of congregations a standard in which
to strive. It appears also only fair that any of our clergy
who have been ordained for a number of years should earn a salary
higher than or at least equal to what the Diocese requires for newly
ordained deacons.
