Diminishing Job Prospects for Protestant Pastors
The reality is there are not nearly as many available jobs as pastors as
there were even a few years ago. Seminaries and divinity schools have
seen a drop in enrollment, and especially in the number of graduates who
become pastors. There are several reasons, but the main one is that not
as many people are attending mainline churches anymore. So there is
less need and less money to afford a pastor. This is Greg Sterling, dean
of the Yale Divinity School.
