Trends in Ministry Webinar
Insights into Episcopal Clergy
What does today’s clergyperson look like? Where do they minister? How much do they earn?
Matthew Price, PhD, and the Rev. Alistair So-Schoos of our Research & Data team discuss how The Episcopal Church is changing.
Discover how data from bishops, priests, and deacons on race, ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation enriches the Church’s commitment to Becoming Beloved Community—and illuminates trends in ordination, deployment, and compensation that could affect how the Church carries out its ministry.
