The United Methodist Church in Wisconsin is facing a possible clergy shortage, with 55 pastors in local churches reaching the minimum retirement age in 2008...
Only 17 of their ordained pastors are under age 35, the Rev. Nancy Moffatt, a district superintendent from Eau Claire, told the gathering as she challenged pastors to encourage new candidates for ministry.
Even with married clergy and women clergy, they still have a shortage? Almost makes me wonder if there is some other factor involved.
