DURHAM, N.C. — Most members of the clergy say they are deeply satisfied with their jobs, according to a survey conducted by Duke University Divinity School. The National Clergy Survey, which includes nearly 900 respondents from more than 80 faith groups, found a high level of job satisfaction, with six in 10 clergy reporting that they have “never doubted” their call to the ministry and seven in 10 reporting they have never considered leaving pastoral ministry.
More than 70 percent of clergy questioned said they think the “difficulty of reaching people with the gospel” is one of the primary problems for pastors.
