Ed Young addresses the WFAA report

One of my readers alerted me that Ed Young addressed the WFAA report in front of his church.  I listened to a lot of it, and here are some notes in case you are interested:

  • The plane is addressed around the 5:00 mark
  • The house around  7:00
  • Retirement and investments around 8:24
  • His publishing company around 9:20
  • Salary around 10:20
  • Members of the board addresses the issue around the 12:00 mark

Even though he discusses his salary, he doesn’t mention exactly what the church pays him or if he is allowed a parsonage allowance, but then again I didn’t listen to the entire 25 minute clip, so maybe he or the two board members addressed it, and I think it would be something one could find on the church’s website.
