The e-mail left many parents at the private Catholic school upset and confused. The well-respected director of religious education had just been fired.
Nell Stetser, principal of Waldron Mercy Academy, an elementary school in Merion, sent the e-mail Friday to say that Margie Winters was out of a job after eight years.
The reasons were confidential, Stetser wrote.
But the "context" she went on to offer included clues to what the school saw as a problem: Winters is in a same-sex marriage.
