THOU SHALL NOT: HYPOCRISY IN THE CHURCH

As we grow up, we have instilled in us certain morals and values. We attend 
church weekly, and find trust and peace in our minister. We try to mold 
ourselves after him, reading the Bible, following the passages. But what are 
we to do when the Reverend makes a mistake, when he breaks the law? Do 
we still consider him a man of God? 
This past election day that is exactly what happened. The renown 
Reverend Dimmsdale past away after confessing to be the lover of the 
notorious adulteress, Hester Prynne. For seven years, the identity of her lover 
has been concealed. How ironic, for her partner who committed this 
horrendous crime, was our own beloved minister! 
A woman, who was persecuted and ridiculed for seven years of her 
life, while her lover praised and preached of Goda??s Will! What does this say 
about Bostona??s distinguished congregation? If the towna??s own minister is 
allowed to have an affair, and conceal it for 7 years, what does that say about 
loyalty? If a woman who raises her child alone, while her lover acts 
nonchalantly, what does that say about honor? What does this say about us? 
Rev. Dimmsdale, let him rest in peace, but his deeds, are far from 
forgotten.
