Suppose the choir director were shacking up with his girl friend?

[ninenot]

You have asked good questions--the answer to which will be somewhat bifurcated.

The Church has a 'morals clause' in any written agreement for employment, and an implied 'morals clause' in the oral agreements. YOU, employee, don't scandalize folks and WE, church, will keep you on.

HOWSOMEVER, enforcement is haphazard, as you might expect. In the case at hand, I think the 'adoption' thing was a bridge too far and got the attention of somebody.

Obviously, there was an implicit 'don't ask/don't tell' see-no hear-no going on while the fellow had his 'relationship.'

Confused?

Same reaction. Adios, muchacho.
