council estimates that Ameri

demands of their ever-expanding
enrollment.
Narrow Field
Why in the face of this
serious shortage of profession
al manpower . do churches
sharply harrow their own
field of prospective pastors by
insisting on youth. as an in
dispensable qualification?
Dr. Aute L. Carr, assistant
dean of Yale Divinity School,
writing in the current Chris
tian Century magazine, lists
three "popular fallacies" that
cause churches to shy away
from ministers over 50.
Fallacy number one is that
the older minister is "a poor
health risk." Carr rebuts this
notion by pointing to studies
of the u. S. Public Health
Service, which show that the
average incidence of illness is
actually higher at age 30 than
at age 50.
A second fallacy is that
'older men are less efficient
and less effective in their
work." Carr says this general
ization about older persons
has been widely accented in
industry and is often carried
over into the thinkine of
churchmen who are charged
with the selection of new min
isters." Refuted By Research
But here, as in the case of
the health question, research
has refuted the popular idea.
several studies m recent years
have shown that older men
develop disciplined work hab
its and an ability to concen
trate which more than offsets
any slowing down of their t-
flexes. They also tend to be
more conscientious about the
performance of their duties,
and less distracted by outside
interests.
The third fallacy is the be
lief that a youthful- minister
is the only kind who can "cap
ture the imagination and win
the hearts of the young people
of the church."
"The young people them
selves would be the first to
deny this," Carr savs. "If vou
observe students in secondary
schools and m colleees. von
will often discover that the
teacher they most respect and
love, the teacher who is exer
cising the greatest influence
in their lives, is one whose
hair has long since turned
gray with age."
Carr concludes that church
es cannot afford to continue
their present prodigal waste
of "the tremendous resource
we have in our older min
isters
