A North Carolina man is suing his local Quaker church for reportedly convincing his wife to divorce him after 30 years of marriage, as well as helping her moving out of their home, thus resulting in his financial instability.
The plaintiff, Warren Pegram of Alamance County, also claims that the congregation at Cane Creek Meeting of the Society of Friends, located in Snow Camp, N.C., knowingly allowed its pastor, Mark Tope, to spend unnecessary time alone with his wife, Shyrlynn Pate Pegram.
