Pastor, church scandal

The Dominica Time News Paper returned with a bang when on July 9, 2008 its editors published a front page story “Exposed!”

The news paper was missing in action after its last two publications “million dollar assets 5000 salary” and “lies to the rescue” had two law suits brought against it by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.

But all this is beside the point; the fact is the Times is back and as controversial as ever.

In its July 9, 2008 issue the paper highlights the plight of a former lay minister whose wife had been cheating with their pastor for an extended period of time.

According to the man they pastor who was having an affair with his wife went as far as counseling the couple during their troubles times. (you can obtain a copy of the times for all the details).

That was not all, in its second issue the paper continued the episode this time disclosing the identity of the man who said he was the victim of the behind the pulpit tricks.

Samuel Augustine said the church is not happy that he went public with this information notwithstanding this he also appeared on a popular morning radio talk show, giving even more details.

What is your view on this, should Augustine have gone public, what do you think should happen to the pastor, should the wife be forgive?
