Clergy Formation
Clergy Formation refers to the process of preparing individuals for leadership roles within religious communities, particularly in Christianity. This formation typically includes theological education, spiritual development, and practical training to equip future clergy with the necessary skills and knowledge for their ministry.
The process often involves attending a seminary or theological school, where candidates study scripture, ethics, and pastoral care. Additionally, hands-on experiences, such as internships or mentorships, are essential for developing the interpersonal skills needed to serve their congregations effectively.
