The resolution proposes the establishment of November 7th as "Pastor Appreciation Day" in West Virginia, recognizing the significant contributions of pastors to their congregations and communities. It highlights the vital role that pastors play in nurturing the spiritual well-being of individuals, providing support during major life events, and addressing humanitarian needs during crises. The resolution notes that there are approximately 51,000 clergy members in the United States, underscoring the importance of celebrating their dedication and service.

The resolution draws on historical precedent, referencing St. Paul's advice to honor church leaders, particularly those involved in preaching and teaching. By designating a specific day for appreciation, the West Virginia Legislature aims to formally acknowledge and uplift the efforts of pastors who serve their communities with unwavering commitment and faith.
