It's not like the pastor was unwillingly coerced into joining his particular schism.
And it doesn't look like the entire congregation was implicated, so the institution would have continuity, it would just persist without it's adulterous pastor.
Might be rather easier to explain to the children the pastor was willing to atone for his inequity to set a good example for them than to instead let the cancer of adultery continue to corrode the structure of the community.
What better place to staunch the tide of moral decay and cultural rot than in God's house ??
Might impress some of the slatterns and horndogs running amuck outside on the streets.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
