As sort of a follow up to my pastor's column below, here is a piece from the Lewis Center for Church Leadership on the issue of young clergy in the United Methodist Church. It is worth reading.

have you read the cover story of the (i think) most recent interpreter on youth/ young adults and the UMC? it is a pretty interesting read, but they seem to think that the trends and ideas hold true everywhere, when i know that some aren't true for myself or some of my fellow young adults on track for ordination or a larger role in the church...but i guess that it is aimed at drawing them into the church not continuing ministry to those of us who have been active for years. it is well worth the read though.
peace,
peter
