I never knew any C of C who were against divorce no matter what, they all accepted adultery as a valid reason for divorce. However, they did not consider spousal abuse to be a legitimate reason for divorce and remarriage.

I had a King James Bible, when I was a child, and it was very hard for me to read and understand. It was the first Bible I ever received. I think it was a gift, and I think there's a family tree inside it as well. I've also wondered who wrote the books of the Bible; there are conflicting stores in t...

Surprised it would be covered in the New York Times.

I was still CoC when I went to college and university. All those rules are why I didn't want to go to a CoC school. I pay a college for a service-to get an education not to tell me what I can and can't do when I'm off campus. And college cost far more now, than it used to. Tuition at all colleges h...

Note: I think it is quite likely that "abuse" in 1950 probably didn't imply sexual abuse (but may have, people were not as cognizant of this as they are today). Hardeman was a very strict disciplinarian and would call out people at chapel for misbehavior. It may have been he was disciplin...

There is currently a political movement to end no-fault divorce laws. If this happens, many people will stay trapped in abusive marriages and may even be killed. I also noted that many Christians think you should stay trapped in any kind of abusive or bad friendship, that you "have to take the ...

This is reminding me of some of the ghastly interviews I had during my working years. There was the lady who fed her parrot during our interview and didn't look at me or seem to listen to a word I was saying, t I had an interview like that where the man was packing boxes the entire time, getting hi...

Well, i have a friend who went somewhere to apply for a job and the woman working there was rude to her and would not help her. A couple years later that same rude woman came into the place my friend now worked, looking for a job. And she said she trashed the application. Just desserts. Sadly my fri...

Can only remarry after divorce if adultery was shown by the other party and was the actual reason for divorce. Being beaten almost to death, having money stolen from you, a person going to prison for committing a horrendous crime just doesn't cut it. It is amazing these things weren't taken into co...
