Clergy Appreciation Month began as Pastor Appreciation Day by Jerry Frear, founder of Under His Wings. It later became Clergy Appreciation Month, a month that opens up to faith leaders (Rabbis, Monks, Imams, Priests) of all faiths.
Frear started the original Pastor Appreciation Day based upon a survey he and his staff conducted in 1992 that found a large portion of clergy were unhappy in their jobs. The focus of the day is celebrating everything faith leaders do to minister to their flocks and support the local community. Over the course of a few years it became clear that an entire month was needed, and that clergy of other faiths should also be recognized.
The focus on appreciating clergy seems to be working. Most faith leaders when asked today are devoted to their work and feel a strong desire to work with their communities. Clergy Appreciation Month is about saying thank you to the shepherds of faith and learning more about what they do every day. "
