Ask Amy: New discovery leads to belated condolences
I have two suggestions: You might ask your clergy member (and others in your congregation) to travel to another nearby church to attend this service as a group.
Alternatively, you could find a service online, and work with your trustees to broadcast the service into your church’s sanctuary (or watch it on your own at home).
Dear Amy: “Stuck” wanted to go on a trip with her (divorced) sister, but her husband didn’t want her to. A “girls’ trip" can often mean looking for guys.
If that's what the divorcee has in mind, the husband may have legitimate concerns about his wife going on such a trip.
I wonder if the wife would feel comfortable with her husband going on a "boys’ trip" with a divorced relative or friend?
– Wondering
Dear Wondering: A group of women hiking in the Scottish Highlands doesn’t sound like a “looking for guys” kind of trip. This husband was overreacting.
