Just to make conversation, my great-grandfather was going to be a priest, was in fact on his way to take his final vows when he saw my great-grandmother for the second time. He used to take my mother for walks, and they would always stop near her sister's house and say, "And when I saw her for the second time, I knew I could never be a priest." How cute is that?

He hadn't figured on her being a Baptist, though - religious schizophrenia has been in my family for several generations now!

Jeni, I can understand what your friends are going through, but they each need to take a cold shower, sit down in a public place and discuss their feelings for each other. If they are both committed to seminary, and decide to be committed to each other, too, they need to realize where and how they can date. Whether they decide that they can or cannot, they should have learned a great personal lesson on pastoring!
