Clergy compensation report

From The Right Rev’d Jennifer A. Reddall, Sixth Bishop of Arizona

Church Pension Group released the 2020 Clergy Compensation report last week. This is an annual event, but this year the report is interactive and includes many more breakdowns than prior reports. I particularly encourage all Vestry members, search committee members, and other lay leaders in Arizona to look at the report, which you can find here. 

Across the Episcopal Church, median compensation for compensated clergy (full and part time) is $78,799.00. A gender gap of $10,000.00 persists nationally, though a number of dioceses have dramatically decreased it (check out Georgia) by making salaries transparent and standardized. If you engage with the report, you can look at differences in compensation across congregational operating revenue, gender identity, race, sexuality, and other categories.
