I believe that pastor was Charles Stanley.
Although it is often read as, and many hold it means, that an elder is not to be divorced, the Scripture says he is to be the husband of one wife. A strict interpretation would indicate that he cannot be remarried so long as the previous wife is alive.
I may be wrong, but I think in Stanley's situation, his wife left him. I am unaware that he has remarried.
Check out the John Piper article and the other Piper articles like it. See if you are convinced that an elder should not be divorced. He makes a pretty strong exegetical case. If you google "John Piper and divorce" you can find about 3 or 4 good articles.
