C029 Clergy Compensation by Race
The Church Pension Group collects and compiles clergy compensation data. Its annual Clergy Compensation Reports present that data by many of factors. Data by gender is invaluable as women clergy seek to close the persistent gender gap it reveals. CPG does not collect data by race. General Convention Resolution 2015-A182, “Address Systemic Racial Injustice,” “… urges the Church to enter into … internal analysis to address systemic racial disparities and injustice in the Church and the wider culture.” There are almost certainly “systemic racial disparities and injustice” in clergy compensation. CPG must provide the “internal analysis” necessary to resolve them.
