I would hope

that if a priest, minister, preacher or cleric of any sort lost their faith, that they would move on...

Non-believing clergy: Now what shall we do?

One of the major themes in Christianity is honesty, along with a second, integrity. How can one receive the real Gospel, the Word of God, if the preacher is either unwilling to preach the full extent of it or does, but is compromising their own beliefs by doing so. In essence, lying to their congregations? Which of their words are you able to trust, then?

I know that fear of unemployment is a very real fear, but it's something that other people face, what makes ministers and clergy so different, so special? It would be a difficult, difficult thing, no doubt...
