Sometimes happens when the Rev is cought "counseling" an attractive choir member. I've seen it happen twice, but they were not terminated by their wives, but with the aid of a lawyer or two, they were divorced. Adultery may not have been the cause in this case, however. It might also have been spousal abuse. Whatever the cause, it's a very sad situation for all, especially the kids.

Remember Hillary's ludicrous formulation when the Monica Lewinsky scandal first broke? "He was ministering to a troubled young person." ;)

At least its been narrowed down to one or the other. He was obviously a very bad man.

Around our water cooler, the talk is straying toward child abuse...all speculation, of course.

Not to mention the Spring Break Pastor's Wives Gone Wild DVD. Sure to be a hit on late night "paid programming" channels
