Well, you're wrong. The orthodox, anglican, and catholic churches all have a very rich, deep intellectual tradition, and require higher education to be ordained. Even most relevant Southern Baptist churches require an M.Div from one of their (admittedly illegitimate) seminairies, in order to be a Senior Pastor.


Meh. Most leaders in the local churches in almost every city and town do not hold a master's degree. I guess if you are wanting to work for joel olsteen you may need one.

You literally NEED to achieve a graduate degree from seminary in order to be ordained in the Catholic, Anglican, or Orthodox churches. If you look at the major baptist churches in New Orleans, most every head pastor has at least an M.Div. And i would actually have to reach lesser requirements if I wanted to work for the likes of Joel Osteen.
