Interesting ...I would personally have a problem with it, If a man is not a good steward of his wife and kids I do not know how he would shepherd the flock

Re. 42.

I think that you make an excellent point. This is another reason why we are not to be too hasty in laying hands on any man.

I am not going to say that divorce and remarriage automatically disqualifies a man from the pastorate, but I think that he is going to face an uphill climb. He is going to have to demonstrate a definite calling from God along with a clear understanding of the factors leading to his marital break-up before I am going to participate in his ordination.

Question: What constitutes being a "good steward" (I hope you're not going to say keeping them all together "at all costs")
