After Forty-Five Years Apart, a Pastor Married His High School Sweetheart
“What sort of ethics, Arthur?”
“Our pastor has spent four afternoons this week in Room 214 with a dying woman,” Arthur said, turning a single sheet of paper facedown on the wood.
“A woman whose late husband left a sizable private estate.”
I kept my hands flat on the leather cover of my logbook.
“Margaret is an old friend in hospice care.”
“She’s a vulnerable patient,” Arthur said, looking around the table.
“And Tom has spent twenty years handling parish finances with no outside audit.”
