Precise comparisons are im possible because of wide varia tions in statistigs collected by different religious bodies on clergymen's, income. Govern ment agencies have collected no official figures since the 1950 census. ' The census showed that the median income of male clergy men in 1949 was 52,412 less than that of any other profes sional group and below many non-professional groups such as bus drivers, bakers and black smiths. , The United Press survey show ed that ministers in many de nominations have received sub stantial pay raises since 1949. For example, increases have av eraged 37 per cent in the Con gregational Christian churches, 35 per cent in the United Pres byterian church, 21 per cent in the Protestant Episcopal church. Dr. Benson Y. Landis, editor of the Yearbook of American Churches, pointed out, however, that these increases have been largely offset by the rise in liv ing costs. In terms of food and clothing, Dr. Landis said, "the clergy still do not come off as well as the average member of lay society." The survey indicated that the present average income of clergymen of all faiths is sub stantially less than the average pay of public school teachers. The National Education associa tion estimates the average school teacher's pay at $4,100 a year. - - i ,-'- x ., , s (And be sure to renew promptly when you receive your notice!)
