The Journey of Some (One) Clergy from LGBTQ+ Aversion to Acceptance
<p>My doctoral program included training as a statistician, and I have used those skills at times in research on religious topics. The denomination in which I served as ordained clergy financed a study I did on small and dying congregations.</p>
<p>I collected data, crunched data, and analyzed data. In case you are wondering, they all want a young minister with children whose wife can start a children’s program and play piano. They all wanted a bi-vocational minister since they couldn’t pay a full-time clergy person. They all wanted the Presbytery to send them someone to save them. That was 20 years ago. Most of those congregations are gone now. Maybe if they had learned some lessons about acceptance... But that is another story.</p>
