Clergy formation

Clergy formation is the comprehensive process by which individuals prepare to serve as religious leaders, such as priests or ministers. It involves education in theology, scripture, and church teachings, along with spiritual development, ethical training, and practical pastoral skills. This process can include academic studies, retreats, mentorship, and hands-on experience in community service. The goal is to ensure clergy are well-equipped to provide spiritual guidance, uphold church doctrines, and serve their communities effectively and ethically throughout their ministry.
