Mark Greene explains, tongue in cheek, the false construct implicitly adhered to by most of Christians: “All Christians are born equal, but ‘full-time’ Christians are born more equal than others. In turn, there is an unspoken hierarchy that goes something like this: pastor, overseas missionary, full-time Christian worker, tentmaker (just so long as it’s abroad), elder, deacon, poor Christian, Christian, rich Christian.”
