If it was the first time after many years, I don't see a problem with it if the church is left in capable hands.

You may have a point there, most anybody would be more capable.
I understand vacations - CPA’s don’t take them during tax season because that is their big season - I don’t think a minister should leave his church during Christmas or Easter for any reason. He has 50 other weeks out of the year he can relax. In fact, I wouldn’t think a good Minister would WANT to be away from his church at such an important time of the year.....
