Hmmm...I suspect more commonplace these days when everything seems to go, gw.

I suppose, Tom. I lived in parsonages most of my life and, yes, a woman did attempt to seduce me on one occasion, but, believe me, this is totally fiction!

It can happen. And, I suspect, it is less sinister these days. The SBC has recently done a big study on clergy sexual misbehavior. More widespread than ever conceived.
