One of the Mormons’ talking points has been and continues to be that they do not have a paid clergy but their clergy is lay. Most religions have a paid clergy, specifically trained for their ministry. To most religions that must be a significant expense. The Mormons can save that cost and pocket their revenue for their limited hierarchy. The irony is that rather than being a liability they convince their members that their lay ministry is an asset; an evidence of the truthfulness of their gospel. Very clever don’t you think?
