Central Presbyterian Church issued the following announcement on Sept. 13.
What are Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) ministers of the Word and Sacrament thinking, feeling, and experiencing in terms of physical, mental, and financial health, satisfaction of call, and more? To answer that question, Research Services conducted the first-ever comprehensive study of ministers.
The study originated with questions. Research Services regularly receives questions from mid council leaders, congregational staff and members, ministers, and others in the PC(USA) about ministers. But often Research Services staff could not respond to those questions because they did not have the data needed for an answer.
To change that, Research Services director Dr. Susan Barnett had her colleagues design a survey for ministers of the Word and Sacrament that would gather the needed information. The survey contained 110 questions.
