Alban Institute Releases Special Report on Transition into Ministry
Washington, D.C. (August 28, 2008)-For years religious leaders have debated the strategies for effectively preparing seminary students for ministry...A new report from the Alban Institute in Washington, D.C. calls attention to a promising set of recent experiments conducted by the Fund for Theological Education's Transition into Ministry Program (TiM)...Based on the assumption that pastors will be better prepared to lead congregations when they have had the opportunity to become reflective participants in a local community of practice, the TiM studies seek to counter a two-centuries-long trend of viewing pastoral preparation as something that is largely completed upon graduating from seminary.

Pastor gets $3 Mil for Congregation on eBay
Without their consent or knowledge, a pastor in rural Montana has sold his church and congregation on eBay for $3 million. "I finally got good and sick of them," says Tad Marshall, pastor for 15 years who completed the secret sale last week. "This serves them right. All of them." But many in the church are stunned by the Marshall family’s sudden departure. ----------------------------------------------------- As soon as this story broke, I found myself thinking: "I wonder how much my pastor friends think that their combined facilities and congregations are worth? And would they ever seriously consider auctioning them off?"

You never know, Andii. I hope you're wrong.

btw - how long have you been using the term?

must say that another revenue stream would be good at the mo. However I don't see me 'monetising' the phrase directly. I literally invented the phrase as I read the article and thought about the title and content of the post. I'm a fan of portmanteau words anyhow, so it was an easy leap.
