From church closingand foreclosures of houses of worship across the nation to the limited nbumbers of clergy jobs
for new rabbis, imams and pastors, the recession has hit religious
Americans just as it has affected the tens of millions of the country's
jobless.
Even before the recession, most spiritual leaders of small towns and big cities across the United States earned meager salaries with annual pay for Catholic priests and imams ranging from $25,000 to $30,000 and the average Protestant pastor making $40,000 a year, according to arecent survey
Yet, even in difficult times, some churches and pastors are soaring.
While not a definitive guide, HuffPost Religion has has compiled a
slideshow of some of the best paid pastors in America. For several,
their high income comes not only from employment as pastors, but also
from TV appearances, book sales and charity management.
For the lucky few, being a pastor can mean being a multi-millionaire.
