Unscientific Sample: 9 out of 10 Retired United Methodist Clergy
Prefer SLI for Summer Worship

In a service open to every one, we counted five retired pastors and their spouses, three retired pastors without their spouses, and one part-time student pastor with her spouse who is a clergy tax accountant. There were approximately 50 who were in attendance in this morning's worship service at Epworth Hall. Fellowship time afterwards included ice cream sundaes--a perfect ending to a perfect morning!

This morning's Guest Speaker is a former Kindergarten teacher, part-time student pastor in the Presbyterian Church and is also in retail sales. Loren Penman, who has known Erin since her teaching days, introduced her to the Epworth congregation:

Erin has a Bachlor's degree in English from Ithaca College, a Master's degree in education from the University of Rochester, and a Master's degree from Princeton Theological Seminary. She was a former kindergarten teacher at Alexander Elementary School and a current Student Supply Pastor at East Bethany Presbyterian Church which just recently celebrated its 200th anniversary last year. All this by the age of 35!
