theological education that effectively offers this ministerial training for pastors. For instance, in the United States and Canada, the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities recognizes over 175 member schools that each offer training that leads to ministerial credentialing ("Members & Affiliates," 2016.). Similarly, the Association for Theological Schools has over 275 member and affiliate graduate schools and seminaries in North America that provide training for varieties of Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and Islamic clerical leaders ("Member Schools," 2016). Likewise, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops recognizes nearly 150 seminaries that train Roman Catholic priests in the United States ("Seminaries and Organizations," 2016). The World Council of Churches has identified over 650 colleges, universities, and seminaries that provide ministerial training in the United States (www.globethics.net).

They also demonstrate that there is a wide variety of options available for those who desire to prepare for pastoral ministry to find the training that they need. However, in the country of Ghana, with a population of about 29,000,000 people ("Ghana Population," 2018), the World Council of Churches identifies fewer than 60 schools that offer theological training (www.globethics.net, 2016). Of these, the Ghanaian National Accreditation Board identifies fewer than 25 schools that are officially accredited to offer either undergraduate or graduate theological training for Christian, Islamic, or Jewish faiths ("List of Accredited," 2018). Likewise, the country of Peru, with approximately 32,000,000 residents ("Peru Population," 2018) has a similar population to Ghana, and they have fewer than 60 theological schools (www.globethics.net, 2016). The disparity is also seen by the size of
