Newspaper Page Textt MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, February 20, 19S9 America's Religions Attempt to Interest More in Ministry By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International A drive to recruit more young men for the ministry is underway in America's major religious denomina tions. It is prompted by a shortage of trained clergymen which is already serious and getting steadily worse. " The average layman does n't think much about the clergy 'shortage until his own church needs a pastor. Then he learns with a shock that the demand far exceeds the supply. Statistics from the two largest U. S. denominations indicate the dimensions of the problem. During the last 10 years, the Catholic population of the United States has increased 31 per cent, but the number of priests has increased only 21 per cent. A recent survey showed there are nearly 10, 000 U.S. towns, of more than 500 population, in which there is no Catholic priest. Membership Grows Membership of the Metho dist church has grown 28 per cent since 1940, but the num ber of fully-accredited minis ters has increased only one per cent. Untrained supply pastors are filling the gap. Methodists need at least 2,800 new ministers each year ' to staff their growing church, but they are getting only 900 a year from seminaries. Similiar figures could be supplied by Baptists, Luther ans, Episcopalians and Pres byterians. According to the National Council of Churches, clergy shortages exist in vir tually all denominations. The council estimates the total deficit, in Protestant bodies alone, of 25,000. Churches face a severe handicap in their efforts to interest more young men in seeking holy orders. Sociolo gists have oioted a growing tendency among U. S. youth to choose careers primarily on the basis of the material re wards they offer. The min istry, with its traditionally low salaries, does not fare well in this what-does-it-pay test. Seek To Raise Salaries Many denominations -are workintf to raise ministerial salaries. But they are doing so primarily in the interests of justice to clergymen and their families, rather than as a re cruiting measure. The idea of attracting more people to the pulpit with a purely financial appeal is repugnant to most church leaders. They believe it is God Who calls men to the ministry, and that it would be blasphemous to try to substitute monetary bait for His divine prompt ings. So the churches are doing their recruiting the hard wav. They are trying to get across to their youth the message that there is more to life than making money, and that no sincere nrisiian can ignore a call to full-time service lust because it may entail some sacrifices. At the same time their trying to clear away some of the misconceptions that young people have about a clergy man's life, and to make clear that a ministerial career brings many deep satisfactions as weu as a lew Hardships. Lutherans Have Prooram One of .the most ambitious programs of this kind is being conducted lointlv Vv fmir Lutheran denominations the American Lutheran church, Lutheran Free church. Evan gelical Lutheran church and united Evangelical Lutheran cnurcn. Preaching Mission To Start at Church A Preaching Mission will be held at St Luke's Metho dist church, 2940 Siskiyou blvd., beginning Tuesday Feb. 24. The guest evangelist is the Rev.

Four more will be held next month. More than 3,000 young Lutherans have attend ed the conferences to date. They asked blunt, hard ques tions about going into the ministry - and they got straight answers. The re sponse .was so enthusiastic that Lutheran leaders have decided to repeat the confer ences regularly in the future. The Methodists are using a somewhat similar approach. They have held convocations in several major cities recent ly to acquaint college students with the church's need for manpower, and to encourage more applicants, not only for the ministry but for other re ligious vocations.
