Women are attending seminaries in greater numbers than ever before, yet are finding it difficult to find positions in ministry that will both utilize their spiritual gifts and training and sustain them financially. This investigation attempts to uncover the factors contributing to the problem many seminary-trained American women face in locating suitable employment in ministry positions. The investigator explores this problem as related to the status of women in American culture; Christian (particularly evangelical) culture; the religious landscape in America; church history; evangelical and fundamentalist theology; churches, denominations, and academies; the emerging church movement; seminary recruiting and placement practices; and student debt. The investigator designed and delivered a seminar to female students at two evangelical seminaries to address the problem of ministry placement for women. The intention of the seminars was to inform female students of possible obstacles to employment, encourage them to expand their understanding of their calling, challenge them to be creative in pursuit of ministry opportunities, and warn them to decrease the amount of student debt incurred during seminary.
