Question

What %age of 1st-yr seminary students eventually have a parish that provides a respectable livelihood?

Answer 1

If you are in the United States, I would suggest contacting a local seminary's alumnae department.  Ask them what the statistics are about graduates and what they do after receiving their degree.  You may have to call up several seminaries.  They may also refer you to a national organization of pastors or clergy, but seminary students often end up doing many different things besides being pastors of churches, such as counselors, chaplains, missionaries or administrators in parachurch or secular organizations.  In addition, many pastors, particularly those in less affluent neighborhoods, are bi-vocational -meaning they have one job during the week and another with the church.

Answer 2

I have no idea; one might ask the Bishop such a question.

Answer 3

I thought this was the Special Ed section, not religious education?  oh, it is!

please learn what special ed means

thank you
