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

ministers in 1951. 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.

ships as big as America's old fri
gate, the Constitution.

Wash 'n wear is a magic phrase to many

save money because fewer clothes must

you wash until you DRY and in the

problem...

New Temple
Decision to build a Mormon

the area. When completed and

worthy church members only for
sacred ceremonies, including mar

ances, vicarious baptisms for the
dead, and priesthood ordinations.
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

cated by President McKay last
September.

building with the traditional sin.

Mounted on top of the spire will
