The Only One Who Could Ever Reach Me Was The Son Of A Preacher Man

I think the weird part for ministers kids is growing up in a house your family does not own.

A friend of mine was the Lutheran pastor's daughter here (bad grammar, sorry). The biggest wrench for her was them leaving the amazing house they had in the city Centre (opposite the Eye & Ear Hospital) to move home. She had moved out by then but it was definitely Home.

Protestants most definitely do have bishops!!

Mister Monkey is a bank manager's son, and they do this too. It does seem strange.

Whoa, this is one I did not know.

Thread about preacher's kids? Me to thread.

My parents bought a house at age... 45? Because the new church gave them a housing allowance instead of a manse. They're paying the mortgage until they're well old.

What's weird is how my dad treated religion and church as less of a lifestyle and more of a job. Like, we only ever said "grace" when there was company from church, to keep up appearances or something. It really made me realize how church is more of a community thing and less of a god thing (at least, to canajun presbys)
