Clergy well-being declined during pandemic
from Religion Media Centre:
A report into the wellbeing of Church of England clergy has found an overall decline since 2019, exacerbated by the pandemic. “Covenant, Calling and Crisis: Autonomy, accountability and wellbeing among Church of England clergy” is the latest in a ten-year study of clergy mood. During lockdowns, some experienced isolation as congregations withdrew. Organisational restructuring also caused stress: “For some, greater diocesan uncertainty and turmoil has meant less reliable support, breakdown in trust and relationship, and increased distance from the diocesan centre. For others, this period has led to greater participation (desired or undesired)”.
