基们网站根据基们的研究机构给出不少关于牧师的数据,我摘录几条很有趣的:
• 70% of pastors continually battle depression.
大意:70%的牧师患有忧郁症 (或者准确一点:70%的牧师需要不断地和忧郁做斗争。)
说好的“喜乐”呢?笑死人了。
• 50% of pastors are so discouraged they would leave the ministry if
they could, but have no other way to make a living.
50%的牧师太沮丧了,想换工作,不过他们没有别的谋生手段。
• Nearly 40% of pastors have had an extra-marital sexual affair since
entering ministry.
将近40%的牧师在当牧师后有婚外性行为。(注:新闻当中看,牧师们尤其喜欢性侵犯
未成年少女。为了孩子,请远离牧师!)
