Cutting $
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : January 17, 2005
Amy and I have decided to cut my "salary." We’re cutting pay by 1/3 next month, and then plan on stepping the rest down over about 6 months.

I am not their clergy…I am in the same boat as them. I’ve always been on the bivocational pay, but I figured that if I raised the funds myself, people would see me differently, but I don’t think that is the case.

Christarchy! is a growing network of small groups for people who want to put the ethical teachings of Jesus into practice.
Submergent is a network of leaders who, embracing the Anabaptist impulse, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
Anchored in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis, Missio Dei is committed to following Jesus' way of peace, simplicity, prayer, and hospitality.
The Missio Dei Breviary includes morning and evening prayers for one month. Edited (and freely shared) by Missio Dei, it draws primarily upon the Gospels, reflects Anabaptist convictions, and emphasizes missional commitment.
