And while I certainly feel that repentant divorced/remarried persons can faithfully serve in their local church, I believe that the positions of Pastor and Deacon do not, necessarily, fit into this category.īelow is how I answered this specific question ( What is your view on ministerial opportunities for divorced and remarried persons?) on a previous pastoral resume. It seems that, over the last 20 years or so, churches across America have taken a new stance on this so as to allow enough men to be considered “qualified” for church leadership. With the average American church membership being around only 70 people total, many of these small churches have few men to choose from for church leadership (elders and deacons). And I have to ask the question: Is it really that prominent of an issue in contemporary American Christianity? Unfortunately, the answer is yes.īesides the question regarding Predestination & Election, this question has caused the most controversy for many churches. It is both interesting and sad that almost every church I have communicated with has had this question on their application. And although I know there are godly and more well-versed pastors/theologians out there who take a different position, they have the right to their own interpretation…and to be wrong on this particular issue. This particular question ( What Is Your View On Ministerial Opportunities For Divorced And Remarried Persons?) has caused me to step on no less than a few toes along the way.
