Patheos is claiming that there are preachers who are fed up with preaching and are looking for a way out but it has not been easy for them. Read what they wrote below:
"Church ministers do more than lead our Bible studies and our worship services. They do more than run the administrative parts of the church. Our ministers represent an idealized state of spirituality that we want to believe is possible for anyone. Maybe we haven’t achieved that
state ourselves, but we like thinking that Brother Jones or Father McGee has gotten to the Promised Land. And maybe he can lead us there. Therefore anything that reminds us of the basic humanity of our ministers can be uncomfortable.
Here is the thing that we don’t talk about:
There are thousands of ministers out
there who no longer wish to be ministers. They no longer want to work in churches. They don’t want to do it anymore. But they don’t know how to leave. They don’t
have anywhere to go. They don’t know what to do."
