Do you think, under some circumstances, a divorced man can serve as pastor?

By Ed Vasicek on Tue, 08/13/19

I have known a number of men serving as pastors who have been divorced and remarried. In one instance, for example, a man was married to a woman who became a lesbian. In another instance, it was a more traditional issue with a wife leaving her husband for another man.

In your understanding of Scripture (passages like I Timothy 3 or Titus 1, etc.), can a divorced man serve as a pastor in some instances?

This is not the same issue (although to some it may be) as to whether he can be an elder, deacon, trustee, or Sunday School teacher, for example. We are talking pastor.
