Answer 1

An ordained minister is a common law employee of a church for income tax purposes and is taxed on offerings, wages and fees for ministerial services. Thus, a minister may have to pay a self-employment tax one to four times per year, depending on the number of employees in his church. To receive tax exemptions, a minister must be responsible for a congregation, considered a leader by his respective denomination and conduct worship services.

Answer 2

Coastal habitats—areas both along and close to marine shorelines—are vital ecosystems. They help mitigate the impacts of climate change, for example by storing carbon and buffering the effects of floods and storms, and provide a range of other services, including serving as nurseries for a range of species and absorbing runoff from farming.

Conserving these habitats is vital for protecting shorelines, feeding and sheltering marine life, and lessening the effects of climate change, an effort that must also include reducing global carbon emissions. Here’s a deeper dive into four types of coastal habitat: mangroves, salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and coral reefs.
