I would think that an issue like tithing should have been discussed at the associate pastor's job interview if it was going to be an issue in keeping his position. Even so, if he is willing to submit to the elders and tithe, and there is no other reason to let the associate pastor go, the elders should drop the matter. I do wonder, why was the finance committee checking into the giving of the associate pastor?
