Pastor marries woman 33 years younger after advising her to leave her husband

England: A couple with an age-gap of 33 years have revealed they understand why their own church shunned them.

There is no mistaking the 33-year age gap between committed churchgoer Rachel and local pastor Mike Kelly. The Lancastrian couple first became close when Rachel sought Mike’s advice during her split from her husband. Their unlikely love affair caused a scandal and forced them to leave their beloved local church.
