The Rev. Brad Braxton, pastor of New York City's Riverside Church, resigned last week after being installed only a few months earlier.He has been criticized for his $600,000-plus salary package which included a $250,000 annual salary and $11,500 living allowance (see earlier post of this Blog). The package was approved by church members. Dissidents unsuccessfully tried to block his installation by going to court charging that the package strained the church's budget.
After considerable prayer, Braxton concluded that because of consistent discord, it was impossible to establish a fruitful covenant between him and the congregation. Therefore, his resignation would be the right thing to do for the congregation, his family and for himself.
