He is a sweet and sensitive man and I know it has to really hurt his feelings. These are not young men... the pastor of the big church is in his late 70s and the other pastor is 60ish and grew up with the older pastors kids who are all preachers.
The kids from the smaller church can not even go to school at the bigger church because they are constantly pressured to 'come to a good church'... The whole thing had the net effect of totally disgusting me.
Biggest difference in standards... the pastor from the small church allows wedding rings and hair bows... everything else is the same.
