In my last pastoral assignment...
In my last pastoral assignment I lived in a parsonage, but my congregation gave me the privilege of buying my own home. After living in church-owned parsonages all our pastoral lives, it felt extremely good to be homeowners. However, just a few short months after moving in my wife came home to discover that someone had broken into our home and ransacked it. Clothing was spread over the floor, cabinet doors were opened, closets rummaged through, and the refrigerator was opened. The truth is not much materially was taken, but our sense of security and privacy was robbed.
