Clergy Appreciation Month began as Pastor Appreciation Day by Jerry Frear, founder of Under His Wings. It later became Clergy Appreciation Month, a month open to faith leaders, including rabbis, monks, imams, priests, and pastors of all faiths.
Frear started the original Pastor Appreciation Day based upon a survey he and his staff conducted in 1992 that found many were unhappy in their jobs. The day focuses on celebrating the support, comfort, and wisdom faith leaders impart and their essential role in supporting the local community.
Appreciating clergy seems to be working. When asked today, most faith leaders are devoted to their mission, determined, and enjoy working within their communities. Clergy Appreciation Month is about saying thank you to the shepherds of faith and learning more about what they do and how they do it.
