More seminarians, less pastors
Via Novum Testamentum:
Among the important things Kirkland Reynolds has figured out in his three years in the seminary is that he does not want to be a church pastor. Like many young people here at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, Mr. Reynolds, 24, hopes to put his religious education to some other use, saying he does not want to preach or take a position of authority in the community.

Perhaps this is part of the postmodern deconstruction process – to avoid the institution and celebrate local subcultures.

Or simply the fear of pastoring and the responsibility of the spiritual well-being of others?
