Anonymous (A Beautiful Couple with Beautiful Children)

Stole Text

In Memoriam

Anonymous
(1932-1993)

"A beautiful couple with beautiful children" would have said the congregation of the large suburban church where he was a successful youth pastor.  But recognition that marriage could not suppress his basic orientation led to the end of his marriage and his departure from the Presbyterian ministry.
