It was over 50 years ago but I recall clearly a class on Pastoral practice and the topic was on the role of the “The pastor’s wife”. The guest speakers were of the opinion that there should be no expectation or title for the pastor’s wife – it was her husband’s calling, not hers. Then one made the statement: “If my husband was a truck driver nobody would have an expectation on me – why should it be different for the pastor’s wife?” I understand the objection – but it came to me: “The preacher who married Audrey and I was a pastor and a truck driver!” Harvey would have identified himself as a pastor who happened to drive truck to cover expenses, and never as a truck driver who happened to also be a pastor. His wife, Cora, correspondingly embraced her role, not as a truck driver’s wife – but as a pastor’s wife. You only had to meet her to know that she saw it as every bit a part of the call for her as it was for him. She and Harvey have always been great models and examples for us as a Pastoral team. – Larry & Audrey Dahl
