We sometimes referred to church service as going to preaching. And some
churches we attended over the years, being in the military, had a
minister who had a full-time job in another field so was not available
every day to attend to the needs of the congregants. Others had a
full-time clergyman who visited the flock and counselled, conducted
ceremonies, etc. on a nearly daily basis. He was furnished a house and
automobile thru the tithing of the congregation. Every church was
different except those actually on the base, where a chaplain has only
that one job but it's a big one, depending on how many GIs on that base
and how many chaplains on duty at any particular time. Those who answer
the call of God to minister are truly to be admired and cherished IMHO.
