Is America facing a pastor shortage?

from Audio News Archive - SRN News

Is America facing a pastor shortage? VERBATIM:  According to several reports, fewer and fewer men are entering the clergy these days.  Master of Divinity enrollment is down 14% in the past five years and amongst Black Protestant denominations, it has fallen 31%.  And while new polls indicate that pastors have largely recovered from the trials of the pandemic, larger percentages of them say they still consider quitting the profession.  Some churches have closed or consolidated for lack of a pastor.  MH REPORTING Brought to you by www.srnnews.com
