A Biblical and Practical Response to Divorced Pastors in Ministry in the Churches in the Kawama Compound of Ndola in Zambia

Abstract

This dissertation offers a biblical and practical response to the issue of divorced pastors in ministry in Kawama compound of Ndola in Zambia. The research focused on examining how the Zambian church should respond to divorced pastors in ministry. I have argued that, in as much as God hates divorce and His idea for marriage is permanence -due to the hardness of the human heart and the brokenness of this world, there are biblical parameters for divorce.Furthermore, I have also made strong proposals on how to mitigate the rampant rate of divorce among pastors. Additionally, I have made suggestions on how to respond biblically, to those who are already victims of divorce and remarriage.
