So ... $240,000 is 15%, that means they take in $1.6M per year, divided by 1100 members of the church ... comes out to $1454.54 per person, per year. Compare that to the $17,117 median income in Augusta, factor in my hatred of organized religion, and I can conclude that I have no idea what's wrong with these people.
My mom's church of a few hundred people has an annual goal of around $65,000 for the Bishop's appeal, and we live in one of the richest towns in the US.
