The Orthodox Clergy Crisis - Matthew Namee

Orthodox Engagement - A podcast by Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick, and Ancient Faith Ministries

Matthew Namee, Executive Director of the Orthodox Studies Institutes, shares a new study tracking the disturbing reality of the major deficit in Orthodox clergy being ordained in the United States. How did we get here? What are the contributing factors? How do the Orthodox compare against non-Orthodox churches? What are the ramifications of the shortage? What is the goal of priestly formation? He also shares suggestions for both short- and long-term solutions.
