Should Pastors and Christian College Profs Quit?
Manage episode 345907343 series 2578496
We discuss reasons why pastors, church workers, and professors at church-related universities might want to quit their positions for the sake of conscience. We also discuss four contexts in which it might be worth sticking it out. We conclude with our suggestions for how to operate if you are planning to ghost your scene. We aren’t trying to be patronizing to any group, but rather want to recognize our perspective that its time to “ghost church” uses “church” to mean predominantly white, affluent American evangelicalism and may not necessarily apply to other contexts.
We don’t presume to know each person’s situation, but we wish we would have been able to hear some advice about the ethics of staying and the ethics of leaving a religious community. We offer our thoughts more as an answer to a bundle of inquiries, rather than a detailed thesis.
