  Sounds of Silence
Many clergymen say in despair that their sermons seem to fall upon deaf ears; that people are able to compartmentalize their lives so that prejudice, hatred and selfishness remain unaffected by messages from the pulpit.
This deaf-ears argument was rejected right away—two-thirds of the ministers (68 per cent) agreed that "Clergymen have great potential to influence the political and social beliefs of their parishioners." And this belief in the power of the pulpit was not related to the Doctrine Index.
Indeed, the clergymen recognize this: 94 per cent of the liberal ministers thought their own theological views generally encouraged their participation in social-action activities, but only 39 per cent of the most conservative clergy thought so.

 Report
Operating under expanded provisions of mandatory reporting because both the Charter and revised state statutes require that all clergymen serve as "mandatory reporters" who are required to report all instances and alleged instances of sexual abuse of minors to appropriate legal authorities.
The 28 clergymen included 21 diocesan priests, one deacon and six religious priests working in the Diocese at the time the alleged incidents were said to occur.
All of these allegations concerned clergymen who were deceased when the allegations were made, giving investigators no opportunity to question the accused and giving the accused no opportunity to defend themselves.

 TranceNet: Malnak v. Yogi, 6
Although defendants offered the clergymen as "fact witnesses" and specifically denied that the clergymen were testifying as experts, defendants now seek to rely on the opinions of the clergymen.
All three clergymen indicated that they accepted representations made to them by their teachers that the puja was a ceremony of gratitude which must be attended by them in order to receive a mantra.
All three of the clergymen stated that they did not view the puja as important; one of the clergymen characterized the significance of the puja to him as "trivial," although he also stated that the puja may have had a significance, unknown to him, to other persons.

 The Truth Seeker - 'Satanic' Brotherhood with Clergymen in its Ranks
His views will be greeted with astonishment by the significant number of senior clergymen and Christians who are members of the 350,000-strong Craft, who have organised a slick media campaign to counter bad publicity.

 Concerning the Education of Clergymen
As matters go nowadays, too many clergymen let themselves be ruled by vague social sentiments, which slide into humanitarianism–by definition the negation of a transcendent understanding of the human condition–without recognizing the pit into which they have fallen.
Yet there are clergymen whose notion of justice cannot be distinguished from that of Marx, who wrote that "In order to create equality, we must first treat men unequally"–that is, to despoil the able, the energetic, and the possessors of property, in order to benefit the deified masses.
Aside from these concerns of doctrine, such clergymen often speak as if we were living in the Bleak Age, with suffering industrial masses and every eleventh person dying in the workhouse–when, obviously enough, ours is the affluent society.

 Rule 506.Communications to Clergymen.
The definition of "confidential" communication is consistent with the use of the term in Rule 503(a) (5) for lawyer-client and in Rule 504(a) (4) for physician and psychotherapist-patient, suitably adapted to communications to clergymen.
The choice between a privilege narrowly restricted to doctrinally required confessions and a privilege broadly applicable to all confidential communications with a clergyman in his professional character as spiritual adviser has been exercised in favor of the latter.
This is a departure from the concept of "confession" as employed in two Alaska Rules of Court, Civil Rule 43(h) (3) and Criminal Rule 26(b) (4), which are superseded by this Rule.

 Jane Austen's Clergymen
One of these Retreats dealt with Jane Austen's clergymen, and this aroused in me a desire to read one day a really good study of the group of clergymen whom she creates.
In her clergymen, Jane Austen is dealing with men who are both professed Christians and professional men with, in her day, a recognised and fairly well defined social position.
It would seem that Jane Austen's clergymen fit into the overall moral world of her novels as men first and clergymen second: they are not seen as "examples" of clergymen for study as such.

 Birmingham Jail - Notes
First of all, his willing acceptance of the death sentence handed down by an Athenian jury at his trial for corrupting the youth certainly prefigures King's assertion that the Birmingham protesters must be ready to accept the penalties for their actions.
Here King, as he once again probes the logical underpinnings of the clergymen's assertions, also lays the groundwork for what he will later, in paragraph 26, call the myth of time.
He is thus a particularly effective figure for King to invoke as King prepares to chastise the clergymen for the Southern church's inactivity in the face of segregation.
