(ChurchLeaders) A new report from LifeWay Research has revealed that the current top concern of Protestant pastors is disunity within their congregations. Other pressure points pastors identified are challenges related to caring for members from a distance, concern over church members’ safety, and feeling isolated and stressed.
“I am aware that people are growing weary of the entire pandemic,” wrote one pastor. “Some are scared to death, while others are convinced it is a hoax. Trying to minister to both ends of the spectrum is exhausting.”
