Whew, I think I'd better go take a bath. I feel so dirty.... <g>
Sam's *other* points in his post are good advice, however.
If a written contract is required (not all contract jobs come with
actual written contracts -- many are covered by a letter of
committment), then I would review it very carefully. In all
fairness, I would also review a contract from my local parish
just as carefully, simply because that's the smart thing to do in all
cases. And the padre is neither greasy or slimy.
