Pastor's wife sued

The pastor's wife was not selected by the church, not paid wages, not subject to dismissal by the church and had limited powers, although she taught Sunday School, instructed in training union, visited the sick, and sang in the choir. She left a pot of grease unattended over a lit burner, it caught fire and damaged the house the church had provided. The insurance company for the church sued the pastor's wife and was successful in its subrogation:
State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. v. Sentry Indemnity Co., 346 So. 2d 1331 La. App., 1977.
