The clergy typically emerged from various backgrounds within Christian communities, often drawn from the laity who were committed to religious life and leadership. In early Christianity, many clergy were former laypeople who felt called to serve God and their communities. Over time, formal education and training became more common, with clergy often coming from educated or influential families. Additionally, the process of ordination and the establishment of church hierarchies helped shape the clergy's role within society.
