Teman bilang, ya dihargai sama besar dengan orang2 lulusan universitas. Tetapi majelisnya milih 2 pendeta, masing2 kerja 3.5 hari dalam seminggu, dan bukan satu pendeta untuk 7 hari melayani umat. Dengan begitu kalau satu pendeta sakit, masih ada satu pendeta lain yang dinas. Heran saya, gereja Protestan Indonesia di Belanda kok penuh, dan dapat menggaji pendetanya. Sedangkan 3 gereja katolik dekat kami, terpaksa fusi. Begitupun tidak penuh di hari Minggu biasa. Penuhnya pada hari Natal dan Paskah.

After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the Pastor's family expanded, so would his salary... After 6 children this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold a meeting to discuss the Pastor’s expanding salary. A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued as to how much the Pastor's additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could potentially cost. After listening to them for about an hour, Pastor Andy rose from his chair and spoke. "Children are a gift from God and we will take as many gifts as He gives us." Silence fell over the congregation. In the back pew, an old lady struggled to stand and finally said in her frail voice. "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it we wear rubber boots.” The entire congregation rose and said "AMEN"
