Brian.

The only thing I can recommend is every wekk you send them a bill, but add 
interest at 18% per year, figured weekly. 

You said you are unable to reach them by phone. You mean there is no 
answering machine? If there is, I would call everyday and leave a message. 
Sooner or later they'll tired of hearing your voice. 

Last resort would be to ask a lawyer in PA to send these folks a letter. 

Ministers are no better than "ordinary" folks. My wife is a PK (Preacher's 
Kid), and some of the horror stories she has told me about the behavior of 
ministers doesn't give that profession a very good reputation.
