The Clergy Compensation Guide adopted by Diocesan Convention in 2007 provides for the following:

1. A minimum stipend for service on a day: $120 for one service, $150 for two services and $180 for three services.

2. Transportation - the current IRS rate ($.505 for 2008), roundtrip.

3. Room and board (if required) - as discussed and mutually agreed upon in advance.

Once a priest has agreed to supply for a given Sunday, any changes or problems about the arrangement will be handled by that priest in consultation with the parish rector or wardens, as available. The Transition Ministry Officer will assist as possible upon request.
