Reverend Richards finished crying and got lost trying to find the exit, but the Christians who worshiped with him only had enough change to spare a dime. C) D) Reverend Richards' ministry at this church is finished because of changing times, but his leaving doesn't seem to bother his congregation who was more interested in the money from selling the church.

Answer:

D) Reverend Richards' ministry at this church is finished because of changing times, but his leaving doesn't seem to bother his congregation who was more interested in the money from selling the church.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ministry of Reverend Richards has taken a very big hit because of the difficult times faced.

His decision to leave the church does not really bother the congregation as they are more interested in making money from the sale of the church and thus they do not know what they have truly lost.
