Parsonage

Parsonage, Rented

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Parsonage, Rented (1): A parsonage owned by a congregation and used only as a residence for the clergyman is not exempt because of some part of it being also used for alleged religious services, to-wit: morning prayers of the children before school, a sewing society, and a meeting place for Sunday-school teachers.592 However, a house and lot rented and kept by the minister was exempt from taxation.593
