Educating Members of the Clergy


The Carnegie Foundation has recently completed a study of the academic preparation of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergy. Through intensive documentation of a cross-section of theological schools, the study sought to understand, broadly, how theological education fosters the development of a pastoral imagination that has the capacity to integrate professional knowledge and skills with moral integrity and religious commitment. The findings of the clergy study project are presented in a book, Educating Clergy: Teaching Practices and Pastoral Imagination.
