Should Pastors Be Salaried?

A blog I follow, Early Church Studies, has linked to a 1997 piece by Darryl Erkel entitled Should Pastors Be Salaried?  The author makes a solid case that believers in the New Testament church did not regularly pay those in positions of spiritual leadership.  And those who, like Paul, might be able to demand remuneration actively eschewed the notion so that the gospel would not be hindered.
