If the minister has a very low income, then baptisms and weddings allow for a little gift of money, or mats or masi. However if the minister has a fair salary,he or she doesn't need extra. Gifts in kind are better than cash i.e. a nice feast! Or a leg of meat to take home and share with the extended family! I don't know whether you are referring to Fijian, Tongan, Samoan or other ministers. Methodist or others? The word 'minister' means to serve so that always should be kept in mind. It is not about 'status'.<br />WendyPeceli and Wendy's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165668047817341837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21733836.post-48510191729908921742010-07-20T08:00:12.625-07:002010-07-20T08:00:12.625-07:00Wendy what do you think of this practice of Pacifi...Wendy what do you think of this practice of Pacific Church Ministers getting envelopes of cash when officiating during duties.<br /><br />https://groupsects.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/pastors-and-those-envelopes-full-of-cash/Jambalayanoreply@blogger.com
