520 |a The church, as an institution, is a religious community informed by certain beliefs and values but for clergy it is also employer. Drawing from interviews with 79 pastors and spouses, this paper explores the competing dynamics between congregational employment practices and clergy ideologies and expectations.

I examine the consequences stemming from different congregational approaches, including churches mimicking secular institutions and churches operating as alternative institutions.
