Pastors’ work hours tallied in new survey

This is why we get paid the big bucks:

A telephone survey found that 65 percent of the 1,000-plus senior pastors surveyed work 50 or more hours a week — with 8 percent saying they work 70 or more hours. Meetings and electronic correspondence consume large amounts of time for many ministers, while counseling and visitation often suffer, along with family time, prayer and personal devotions.
