Yes, that's how typical Malkionism works. That doesn't make it a 'pyramid scheme', of course, since there are tangible benefits to the worshippers from joining in the worship, and the system is perfectly sustainable. The bishop, after all, uses his magic for the good of the province (most of the time, anyway), and the local vicar/minister/whatever does give you real Blessings to use in your everyday life.
