Abstract

What are the factors and concepts that motivate pastors to request transfer to another pastorate? This descriptive study explored the question with a large scale survey mailed to all members of the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. The design of the survey questionnaire included both qualitative and quantitative items in a mixed methodology. The data yield was rich, giving a detailed picture of the ways in which different groups of pastors make the decision to move. While there was a high degree of theological thought involved in the process, there emerged no dominant method, suggesting the decision is a highly individualized decision unique to the character, theology, and calling of the pastor.
