I've been divorced for three years now, we're friends, he's remarried, we coparent, no problems.
They went to the church we used to attend more then 15 years ago and he still had good contact with this pastor all the time. He's a pastor himself. So they went there, the man totally ignored him while he was sitting right in front of him. Really, he said to him on the phone last year that he himself would never have divorced if he had been in our case.
Do more people recognize this, that you're judged and looked at as if you're a lepard: unclean, unclean!!

messy,
I think most Christians recognize that divorce people are treated as bad if not worse than any other type person in the church. It takes a very mature pastor to be able to set aside the traditional destructive divorce doctrines and way of treating those people and love them just as Jesus did and would today.
