Some will be aware that one of these candidates—Robert Ruhlman—has been divorced. Many Christians have wondered about the implications of divorce on a man's qualification for eldership. Before considering Rob's candidacy, our elders articulated a position on divorced men serving as elders, with particular focus on the meaning of the phrase "a husband of one wife" in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. The elders' view is that divorce does not disqualify a man from serving as an elder. This position is summarized here. If you have questions about this position, Rob's candidacy, or any issues related to the elder assessment process, don't hesitate to get in touch with any of our current elders.
