The numbers ascribed to me or The Barna Group regarding the number of ministers who leave the ministry each year are not actually from me or my company. We do not conduct such research, never have.

I have absolutely no idea how many clergy dropout of the fold, for whatever reason.George Barnahttp://www.georgebarna.comnoreply@blogger.com
