Introduction
In the first installment of a three-part series of reports on gender disparities in 2020 clergy compensation, the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women (GCSRW) explored the disparity in compensation of clergywomen and clergymen using 2020 U.S. compensation data from the denomination. Despite the trend of women constituting over half of The United Methodist Church (UMC) membership (Pew Research Center, 2015; General Council on Finance and Administration, 2020), women are significantly underrepresented among active, fulltime UMC clergy and are paid significantly less than UMC clergymen (Bethune, 2021).
Now in this second report, we revisit the 2020 compensation data and provide an update to the 2017 report (Bethune M. , 2017) on gender disparity in UMC clergy compensation by jurisdiction and annual conference. Results of this study show that, while the proportion of clergy who are women have increased in some jurisdictional conferences, clergywomen still may lag clergymen in both representation and compensation. What follows is a breakdown of highlights from our analyses and findings.
Demographics
For this study, we used 2020 U.S. compensation data from the denomination that included UMC clergy (N = 14,124) who were actively employed in 2020, 100% fulltime employed (total across multiple appointments as applicable), and who resided or were employed in U.S. jurisdictions. In 2020, clergy were 32% women and 68% men. By member type, clergy were: 46% elders – full connection; 21% full members, 20% fulltime local pastors, 7% provisional elders, 3% deacons – full connection, and 3% other member types (e.g., associate members, provisional deacon, student local pastor, etc.). By jurisdiction, clergy were: 36% Southeastern, 21% North Central, 20% South Central, 16% Northeastern, and 7% Western.
In 2020, clergy were, on average, 52.5 ± 11.1 years of age and had 15.7 ± 11.2 years of service. On average, UMC clergy received $59,515 ± $24,518 (ranging from $0 to $1,028,411) in salary in 2020. Clergy who received a housing allowance (38%; n = 5,364) received, on average, $21,420 ± $10,544 (ranging from $0 to $300,000). Clergy who received parsonage amount (56%; n = 7,862) received, on average, $14,350 ± $4,792 (ranging from $2,416 to $147,675). On average, UMC clergy received $75,637 ± $29,691 in total compensation[1] (ranging from $1,200 to $1,054,211). For a more detailed breakdown of clergy demographics and general figures regarding clergy compensation in 2020, see this previously published report.
Gender Composition of UMC Clergy
In 2020, fulltime UMC clergy were 32% women and 68% men. The gender composition of UMC clergy varies greatly by jurisdiction, as well as at the conference level[2]. Table 1 shows the 2020 gender breakdown of fulltime clergy by jurisdiction and conference. In comparison to other jurisdictions, clergywomen are underrepresented in the Southeastern Jurisdiction[3] – constituting only 27% of clergy in 2020. Meanwhile, women are relatively better represented in the North Central, Northeastern, and Western Jurisdictions, in comparison to all other jurisdictions. The proportion of clergy who are women ranges across annual conferences from 0% (Red Bird Missionary Conference) to 50% (Alaska United Methodist). Women are significantly underrepresented in the following conferences, in comparison to all other annual conferences: West Ohio, Susquehanna, Western Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Northwest Texas, Alabama-West Florida, Holston, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Alabama, and South Georgia.
In comparison to other conferences within their respective jurisdictions, women are significantly underrepresented in the following jurisdictional conferences: West Ohio (in comparison to conferences in the North Central Jurisdiction); Western Pennsylvania and Susquehanna (in comparison to conferences in the Northeastern Jurisdiction); Northwest Texas and Arkansas (in comparison to conferences in the South Central Jurisdiction); Kentucky, Mississippi, North Alabama, and South Georgia (in comparison to conferences in the Southeastern Jurisdiction); and California-Pacific (in comparison to conferences in the Western Jurisdiction). Please note these disparities have existed over a lengthy period of time and is no reflection on any one administration.
The Gender Pay Gap for UMC Clergy by Conference and Jurisdiction
In 2020, UMC clergywomen, on average, made significantly less salary[4], housing allowance[5], parsonage amount[6], and thus total compensation[7] than did clergymen. When data were disaggregated by jurisdiction, UMC clergywomen made significantly less in salary and total compensation in each of the five U.S. jurisdictions, in comparison to clergymen. UMC clergywomen also received significantly less housing allowance than clergymen in all five U.S. jurisdictions. UMC clergywomen received significantly less parsonage amount than clergymen in all U.S. jurisdictions, except the Western Jurisdiction. Tables 2 through 5 show the average salary, housing allowance, parsonage, and total compensation respectively, by gender and for each jurisdiction. As noted in the tables, most jurisdictions reflect statistically significant and substantial gender pay gaps across all types of compensation.
Data were disaggregated by conference, and the pattern of gender disparity in compensation was observed in many instances at this level, as well. Tables 6 through 9 show the average salary, housing allowance, parsonage, and total compensation respectively, by gender and for each conference. Noted in these tables are the conferences that reflect statistically significant and substantial gender pay gaps for each type of compensation. It is plausible that factors, such as years of service or clergy membership type can sometimes influence how clergy are compensated; in general, these factors were found to be salient in the 2020 data (Bethune, 2021). When analyses were conducted, controlling for age, years of service, clergy member type, and jurisdiction, clergywomen still received significantly less salary than men in 2020 in the following conferences: Central Texas, East Ohio, Iowa, and North Georgia.
Then and Now
While proportion of fulltime UMC clergy that are women has undergone a modest increase from 2015 to 2020 (Bethune, 2021), women still are significantly underrepresented. This is a pattern that is observed at the jurisdiction as well as annual conference level. From 2015 to 2020, a number of annual conferences have seen increases in women’s representation among fulltime clergy that meet or exceed the average improvement (+3%) of the jurisdictional conferences. Table 1 shows both the conferences and jurisdictions that have increased their proportion of clergy who are women by at least 3 percentage points from 2015 to 2020. It is important to note though that a 3% change over the course of five years is at best, only a modest change. For many conferences, there was much room in 2015 for improvement toward parity in clergy representation.
Overall and at the jurisdiction level, much of the observed gender disparity in compensation persisted from 2015 to 2020. However, at the conference level, notable improvements have been made to reduce the gender pay gap. For example, conferences for whom statistically significant differences in clergywomen and clergywomen’s salary were observed in 2015, but not in 2020 include the following: Baltimore-Washington, Dakotas, Eastern Pennsylvania, Florida, Great Plains, Holston, Illinois Great Rivers, Louisiana, Memphis, Mississippi, New England, New York, North Texas, South Carolina, South Georgia, Susquehanna, Texas, Upper New York, West Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Study findings also suggest that, for some conferences, disparity manifests not only in the ways in which clergy are compensated by gender, but perhaps also in the situation of UM clergywomen in general. For example, clergywomen are likely to have fewer years of service and are less likely to be serving in clergy capacities that are compensated more substantively (e.g., elders in full connection), which seem, in some cases, to impact the salary and other compensation outcomes of clergywomen at large.
In pursuit of equity, it is strongly recommended that conferences and jurisdictions critically examine their policies and procedures that directly influence the ways in which clergy are compensated. Additionally though, it is advised that factors influencing the overall situation of clergywomen (e.g., appointments, ordination processes, pipelines to ministry, etc.) also be reviewed, such that they may better support the participation, promotion, and equitable compensation of clergy along lines of gender.
