	<P><A href="http://krusekronicle.typepad.com/kruse_kronicle/" target="_blank" set="yes">Michael Kruse</A> cites the statistics which are becoming familiar:</p> <UL>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">80% of pastors say they have insufficient time with spouse and that ministry has a negative effect on their family.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">40% report a serious conflict with a parishioner once a month.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">33% say that being in ministry is an outright hazard to their family.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">75% report they’ve had significant stress-related crisis at least once in their ministry.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">58% of pastors indicate that their spouse needs to work either part time or full time to supplement the family income.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">56% of pastors’ wives say they have no close friends.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Pastors who work fewer than 50 hrs/week are 35% more likely to be terminated.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">40% of pastors considered leaving the pastorate in the past three months.</LI>
</UL>
<P>and then makes the connection to our reluctance to acknowledge that other forms of ministry.. particularly ex-ekklesial .. are important. Michael has been reviewing Paul Stevens latest book: “The Other Six Days.” Be sure and check out his posts.
