"Where do we Stand as A Church?"

We were a Corporate / Resource Size Church prior to this Rectors arrival.  We are not that size any longer.  We have lost 25% of our Parishioners, we are now at the Program Church Level according to the Dioceses info below (if I read the info correctly).  How do we go from being one of the Larger Churches in the MD Dioceses, to a Program Church?  Easy, allow (and continue to allow) the Rector to do the things he and the Senior Warden are doing.  Drive away beloved Families by the rate of 12.5% per year over the last two (2) years.  That is how you shrink.  Now the bigger issue comes into play.  Since we are no longer a Corporate / Resource Church we need to reduce what we pay (Per The Dioceses info below) to reflect the correct pay.  So, as I see it this Rector needs to take a Pay Cut of about $45 - $50,000.00 to be in-line with the current size of this Parish and to be in-line with the Dioceses 2010 pay structures.  Since he is not Leading us using no visible Leadership Skills, an Ability to Drive Parishioners away, No Real Vision for this Church, I say another $15K should do the trick on top of the $45-$50K to keep in line with his obvious lack of Skills and to fairly pay for what we are getting.  Rector -  How about a reduction of let's say $55K to be fair, since you have not lived up to your part of the Contract, as this is what most Businesses do with Contracted Professionals.  You Produce Less you get paid less.  With that reduction we could clear up the carried over $36K budget deficit from last year and have a possible balanced budget!  "What Say You All Saints?"
