I’m hearing the same things. In my own denomination, we are already short on clergy (specifically under 45). This will almost assuredly create a crisis of leadership. https://twitter.com/natepyle79/status/1293186197569671175">https://twitter.com/natepyle7...

Compounding the problem is growing militant factions who& #39;re unwilling to compromise and instead, react violently to those they disagree with. We weaponize our theology, flatten the Bible into the shape of a sword by which we can dominate our enemies.

And, not only will pastors leave, those who should be entering into vocational ministry are doing so in a time when pastors/leaders are all in submitting/defending a president who goes against everything we claim to believe as Xian& #39;s. A hypocrisy which is indefensible.

The Church will continue. It& #39;ll move forward in beauty and love until Christ returns. I& #39;ve bet my life on it. But we are in a time of reckoning and oh boy is it going to be painful for those who remain (and for those who leave). Christ have mercy.
