Rules regarding "Pastors Gone Wild"

It appears the "Pastors Gone Wild" series is a big hit (according to the tracker, anyway). Several of you have emailed me stories for inclusion. Thanks, and I encourage everyone to keep sending them to me. Here's the rules:

1. There will only be 1 per week. I know I started out with 3 or 4, but I don't want this series to get out of hand. "Pastors Gone Wild" will only appear on Wednesdays. If I start getting a lot more source material I may increase the frequency.

2. Unless the story includes a link (news article, etc), I will not use it. They must be verifiable. I cannot use undocumented stories.

3. Absolutely no stories involving sexual indiscretion will be used, nor stories involving the abuse of children. This series is meant to be lighthearted and humorous.

4. Stories must be of Christian ministers (broadly speaking). Though I might include a really good rabbi story, don't bother sending stories about Hindu priests or Muslim clerics, or Moonie clergy, Mormon pastors, or other non-Christian stuff. Keep it within Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox (and maybe Jewish) circles. I had to turn down a really good story about a Moonie pastor who had an illegal shark-smuggling business on the side---it killed me, but a man has to know his limitations.

5. I will cite your name and link to your site (if you have one) unless you specifically request that I do not.

Have fun hunting for stories.
