To learn whether stressful life events are associated with illness and job-leaving among parish clergy, three different surveys were completed by a total of 413 active Episcopal and UCC pastors. A content analysis process was applied to stressful event descriptions submitted by clergy. Based on factor analysis of the reported frequencies of occurrence and relative effects of events, a list of 44 events named the Pennsylvania Life Events Scale for Clergy, or PLESC, was composed. Significant associations of these 44 events with illness onset, and attempts to leave the ministry or to change churches, were discovered.
