The Alabama Baptist article May 11, 2006, “Closing the books: NAMB moving on, won’t disclose Reccord’s severance” aroused my concern about the integrity of people paying and receiving what can amount to the “Widow’s Mites,” that is sacrificial contributions of many church members. Do you suppose that some people would be ashamed to have their salaries and perks revealed to those who provide money? Starting at the top … I think I would like to see names of recipients and amounts, not just figures clumped together as “salaries.”
Christians are becoming known as people who will tolerate anything. As Billy Graham once said, “It is a sin to tolerate what should be dealt with as sin.” We’re afraid of appearing “unchristian” if we stand up for what is right.
