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. Robert Guthberlet, of
.Australia. The Rev. Melvin
Dixon, pastor of St. Luke's,
said that the services will be
held nightly at 7:45 pan. ex
cept Saturday and continue
through March 1.
The pastor will preach on
the subject "Beginning with
Me," Sunday at 11 a.m. Sup
ervised nursery is conducted
for pre-school children during
church services.
Sunday school convenes at
9:45 a.m. and MYF meets at

WATCHTOWER TOPIC
"Surviving with the New"
will be the Watchtower study
Sunday at 7:15 pjn. at the
Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's
Witnesses, 2402 Jacksonville
highway. The subject of the
public address is "Choosing
Life with the New World Society."
Since last November, these
Lutheran bodies have held
"men for the ministry" con
ferences in 37 major cities.
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.
Catholic parishes through
out the nation will observe
"vocation month" in March,
with special prayers and ser
mons directed to the church's
acute need for additional
priests.
