This project attempts to answer the question: 'Do United Methodist pastors see administrative tasks as being an important part of pastoral ministry, does this vary for ordained and non-ordained clergy, and if there are differences how are they expressed in perceptions and priorities?' Pastors in two districts of the United Methodist Church were surveyed with follow-up interviews regarding their perceptions and practices around duties listed under 'order' in The United Methodist Book of Discipline. Comparisons and contrasts in thinking are identified between ordained and non-ordained clergy. Data collected indicates that ordination is not the primary factor in shaping pastor's perceptions and practices about administrative tasks but that, for many clergy, appointment by the bishop is the significant motivating factor in ordering the church.
