What the accounts disclose

Payments to trustees: The document states the Minister is a 'paid Managing Trustee' and lists employees including the Minister. However, it does not explicitly state that the Minister (a trustee) received remuneration *as a trustee* or disclose specific trustee remuneration amounts separate from employment. It lists 'Minister' as a role and 'Rev. Stuart Shackleton' as the employee. Under rule 6b, trustee_payments is present=true ONLY where one or more trustees received REMUNERATION or payment for services. The text says 'The Minister of the Church is a paid Managing Trustee'. This is a payment for services to a trustee. However, it does not give an amount. The rule says 'present=true ONLY where...'. It does not require an amount to be present, just the fact. But wait, rule 6b says 'present=true ONLY where one or more trustees received REMUNERATION...'. The text says 'The Minister of the Church is a paid Managing Trustee'. This implies remuneration. So present=true. But I need to check if there is a specific quote about trustee remuneration. The text says 'The Minister of the Church is a paid Managing Trustee'. This is a statement of fact about the trustee's payment. So present=true.
