I don't know the detailed political positions of Nick Clegg, but this quote has something to say in regards to the church culture in the U.S. His original statement was focused on teachers; below, I've replaced "teachers" with "youth pastors."
"We already expect our youth pastors to be social workers; child psychologists; nutritionists; child protection officers. We expect them to police the city, take care of our children’s health; counsel our sons and daughters; guide them, worry about them, and, on top of that, educate them too. When you consider that list, it is phenomenal that so many rise to the challenge. But it is too much to ask. Youth pastors are not surrogate mothers and fathers; they cannot do it all."
