Abstract
This study investigates differences in career patterns between 157 divorced and 174 niondivorced clergy qf the Presbyterian Church in the United States. The data, obtained through mailed questionnaires, suggest that divorce does not obviate a ministerial career. It does, however, constitute a disruption and makes it likely that a divorced clergyman will move more often, hold positions outside of the normatively prescribed parish ministry, and have more difficulty in attaining upward mobility. Time since divorce and remarriage are shown to have a slight mitigating effect on the negative career impact.
