It’s more or less normal, the Rev. Bob Oltman said, for Presbyterian pastors to spend three or four years at a church, then move on.
But when Oltman preached his final sermon at Cape Carteret Presbyterian on May 31, he’d been in his position for more than 30 years.
That, he said, made retirement difficult.
