One sees this sort of thing in the American South in
fundamentalist congregations. A minister takes
a position in a sermon that is unpopular, the head of
the ladies cake committee protests to her
husband who is also the local car dealer and
mayor, the mayor calls his buddy who owns
the cigarette factory who tells his workers that
anyone supporting the minister should consider
themselves a short timer, and a week later, a
new church is going up down the street from the
old one: The Even MORE Fundamental Church of
the Ever Yammerin' Politically Faithful. Without
the financial support of the cigarette maker
and car dealer, the old church folds and the
minister of that church is sent in humiliation
by the association to a bigger city to be an
assistant pastor in a ghetto. The mayor's
wife is satisfied, the mayor is fatter, the
cigarette maker is emboldened to reduce wages,
and the new young minister of the new church
is instructed about what topics will keep
him in town, and what topics will see him
move to a ghetto if the mayor's wife doesn't
like him.
Grits, anyone?
This move to move doesn't make sense. Not for
what is obviously a technical glitch. We're being
had.
