Abstract

That some pastors are scholars is true enough. But it is also true that most of them don't continue as pastors very long; presently they become members of a college or seminary faculty. Those who do stay in parish work are not likely to achieve great success, at least statistically, for the parochial ministry today is an activist function; there is not much time for contemplation or for intensive study.
