Retrenched Pastors?

Yeah, believe it or not... pastors have been retrenched before. I heard that it happened in Singapore too. I think that case was because the church membership dropped drastically & it affected the amount of finances that could be paid to the number of pastoral staff in that church. Hmm... I used to think that salaried pastoral staff have an iron rice bowl coz there are so many churches in Singapore & some, if not most, church members do give their regular tiding. Oh well, I guess I was wrong... probably depends on how each church is run...
