How does LAM deal with divorced candidates?
The LAM interprets the teaching of the Scriptures to hold that divorce may be a serious disqualification for Christian leadership, and would, by necessity, look very closely at the application of candidates who have been divorced, permanently separated, or deserted, whether or not they have remarried, to discover if there are mitigating circumstances. In such cases, each would be considered on its own merits. It is recognized that LAM Ministry Associates may also have guidelines to be considered and followed as a specific assignment is contemplated.
