Shortage Of Ministers Becomes More Serious By LOUIS CA8SELB United PreM Iaterutioul If you've ever seen a church congregation trying to limp along without a pastor, or with one nun bter when it needs two or three, you know how demoralizing the experience can be. '. Multiply this situation by many thousands, and you'll understand why a chronic shortage of trained clergymen is a serious threat to the nation's religious life. America has such a shortage to day. And It is getting progressive ly worse all the time. . . To serve an expanding popula tion. America's churches need more ministers each year. In stead, they are getting fewer. v The United Presbyterian Church now has about 800 congregations which are searching for pastors. But enrollment in its seminaries declined this year by nearly 12 per cent. The Episcopal Church discov ered in a national survey five years ago that it was 806 clergy men short of its "minimum" re quirements. Since that time, its membership has increased 8 per eent and seminary enrollment has dropped 10 per cent. , . , The Southern Baptist Conven tion ordained nearly 2,000 new Malln Women Install Slate MAUN The Woman's Associa tion of Malin Presbyterian Church held annual installation Thursday, Jan. 19, with Mrs. J.

In 1959. with far larger membership, H or dained only 840. During the past year, enrollment in its seminaries declined from 5,000 to 4.809. Need 1,200 Clergymen The Methodist Church needs 1,200 new clergymen annually just to replace those lost by death or retirement. To serve an expand ing membership, it needs at least 2,000. Its seminaries will turn out fewer than 700 this year. The United Lutheran Church has a current shortage of 450 ministers, and needs at least 170 additional each year to fill vacan cies. Its seminaries are gradual ing about 150 a year. The membership of the Roman Catholic Church has increased by more than 40 per cent in the past 10 years, but the number of priests has grown by less than 20 per cent. Similar figures could be cited for virtually every other major religious body in the nation. Different reasons have been ad vanced for the downtrend in sem inary enrollments.' Some church leaders blame the pervasive ma- terialism of American society, which, they say, ' causes young people to view a potential career primarily in terms of the finan cial rewards it offers. ' Underpaid Profession The ministry is unquestionably an underpaid profession. But doc tors are the most highly-paid pro fessional group in the nation, and there is also a shortage of medi cal students. So it seems doubtful that today's youth are altogether money-minded in their choice of a career. Another theory is that the min istry (as the medical profession) is suffering from "image" trou ble. Young people don't know enough about the clergyman's job to be attracted to It. They've heard about the low pay and long hours, and they may have an ex aggerated notion of the limita tions on a clergyman's private life. But they haven't been made aware of the opportunities for leadership and service and the tremendous satisfactions that a good pastor finds in his work.

New Temple Decision to build a Mormon Temple on a site in Oakland, purchased for that purpose In 1942, has been announced by David O.

Nineteen stakes of the Northern California Mission and an esti mated 100,000 membership will be served by the new structure. A Mormon Temple is not a place of worship as are the many Lat ter Day Saints chapels within the area.

The Mormons have built. 14 oth er such temples throughout the world. The new temple will rise on a hilltop site in northeast Oakland. The site commands a sweeping view of the entire Bay Area. On part of the same property is the beautiful new two million dollar East Bay Interstake Center, dedi cated by President McKay last September. The design shows a modern building with the traditional sin. gle spire of a central tower.
