(FAITHWIRE) -- For most, an occasional sermon about tithing is standard fare. As it turns out, though, most American pastors aren’t convinced Christians need to give the customary 10% of their income to the church.
Newly published data from Barna’s Revisiting the Tithe & Offering, a section in its The State of Generosity series, found pastors are divided on what tithing should look like for most churchgoers.
Most pastors don’t define giving outside the church as a form of tithing, but a clear majority — 70% — said such giving does not need to be solely financial. And when it comes to monetary giving, only 33% believe the traditionally accepted 10% is proper.
