From the story: “About 100 seminarians from more than two dozen denominations, from Baptists and Roman Catholics to Unitarian Universalists, are attending a week-long conference aimed at reversing a trend of young people shying away from the gaps in churches nationwide left by retiring Baby Boomer ministers. Some seminary graduates prefer to use their religious education for secular or nonprofit work. Other students simply don’t want to work for denominations plagued by sex scandals, rifts over gay clergy, image problems and declining or stagnating membership.”
