Don Peslis had begun in 1991 as an extramarital affair 17 months before she divorced John Helvering.
Every pastor needs a principled plan for dealing with extramarital affairs.
It's going around these days, you know. If you have not had a member or leader involved yet, it is only a matter of time. Sooner or later in your church you'll have to deal with someone in leadership who falls into sin and has an extramarital affair. Or, say you pastored in a small village where your lay leader has been sneaking off to see a woman 20 years younger. Just about everyone in town knows it before you find out.
