If you are interested in more dialogue about the shortage of and the focus upon young clergy in the United Methodist Church (and truly in most Protestant denominations), please view our new young clergy blog where clergy from the North Alabama Conference write about their own perspectives on this issue within the church:
I was young once and now feel used up. I think the institution spits out different flavors if they are not white male or token. Maybe young clergy-types see this and don't want to be used up by the grinding wheels of the mammoth eating machine. I have been a pastor's wife and now am a pastor. We are definitely all not on equal footing. Patti
