What's he using now? Where's the mic? A cheap system on
a boom will sound much better than an expensive one on
the lapel.

Unless you've got a boom operator (way over the top for a church this size)
the boom tethers the pastor, and that's highly counter-productive.

You deliberately misunderstand "boom" I think :-)

In the church where I am the Res. Engineer, they (not much to my liking,
will rather buy a cheap ZAR600 VHF Wireless Lavalier Microphone that will
only last a year before the cable breaks, etc. And that they will just get
another cheapie when this one breaks (about every year).

as these cheap units run at about 200Mhz, and are NON diversity, they have
several problems :
1 Frequent dropouts
2 Constant Hiss (that can be heard on the CD recordings of the service)
3 Amplitude Fluctuations,
4 Even when a ceiling fan is turned on in the Auditorium, the rotational
frequency of the 3 Metal blades affects the signal (with the signal and
amplitude being affected - chopping type sound.)
5 If the preacher turns so that their body is between the Transmitter, and
its associated (Microphone wire) antenna, then dropouts are more frequent
6 With one preacher the Mic will NEVER work with him, Continuous Hiss and
Dropouts Every time he uses the Mic (Maybe his underwear causing too much
static.

I have been recommending to them that they get a Decent (Shure / Akg
/Senheisser?) UHF Diversity Lav, but it seems to be above their budget.

So, I plead with you, please convince your brother to get a decent UHF
Diversity System.

Strange for me to ask such a question but I've simply got no direct
experience of this end of the market.

My brother is an elder of the kirk and they need a replacement body pack
radio mic. Just for the minister. These days they wander round the kirk
rather than remaining in the pulpit. ;-) One which you popped into a
charger after use would be ideal - it's only used perhaps three times a
week for about 2 hours each time, and finding someone with reasonable
skills to change batteries on a regular basis isn't that easy. A separate
charger would be better than one in the receiver.
It also needs to have a convenient way of the minister being able to mute
it for hymns - for obvious reasons. Although I'm willing to modify it for
that if it isn't possible. The current one he switches off which isn't
ideal. Although might be ok when moving to the correct frequency. The
current one is VHF.

Last time I was in a church (about 1960), the charlatan didn't need a
microphone. He just spoke up and everybody could hear him dribbling
down his chin. Why the **** does this crap have to be recorded? Isn't
it bad enough that it gets heard even once?

There's an online publication "The God Squad" where a plausible and
friendly Jewish minister peddles reassuring platitudes. His response
to events in Haiti is a particularly good wriggle:

Appropriately McAfee "Site Advisor" advises me that that link is
"Potentially Unsafe" :-)

Only potentially? McAfee is too timid.
