Katie's Redemption
“The bishop spoke at last. “I see that Katie Lantz is still with you.”
“Jah. She missed the bus.”
“I had hoped to hear she was turning from her English ways?”
“Not yet, but my mother is a good influence on her.”
“Let us pray so.” He took a deep breath and then continued. “There has been talk, Elam. I tell you this because I value you as a member of the church. You have done much to preserve our way of life.”
“I can assure you that nothing unacceptable has happened in my home.”
The bishop stopped... walking and turned to face him. “I believe you. You are an upright man, but such talk can take on a life of its own. Some are saying that your family cares more about outsiders than our own people.”
Anger rose up in Elam, but he worked to suppress it. “Because of my father?”
“Word has reached us of your troubles back in Pennsylvania. Perhaps that is why members of the district have scrutinized you so closely. Taking in this woman wasn’t a good idea. We must limit our contact with those who do not believe as we do.”MoreLess
