A worshipper’s initiatory participation requires that he spend at least 20% of his time, in addition to the 10% spent in communal worship (for a total of 30% of his time). Usually, this time is a normal part of the hero’s clan activities and occupation, and does not take him away from his job. p.67
Devotion is a stronger tie to a god, based upon a desire to emulate that god in day to day life. The hero spends an additional 30% of his time and resources in worship, for a total of 60%. ... To spend so much time at worship, a person must have some outside source of support or income. A clan typically supports its thanes and god-talkers in this manner. p.69
So TR suggests that while the initiatory 20% is part of 'life' the additional 30% for devotion is not.
