Where marriage partners, even
after thoughtful consideration and counsel, are estranged beyond reconciliation,
we recognize divorce as regrettable but recognize the right of divorced
persons to remarry. We express our deep concern for the care and nurture
of the children of divorced and/or remarried persons. We encourage that
either or both of the divorced parents be considered for custody of the
minor children of the marriage. We encourage an active, accepting, and
enabling commitment of the church and our society to minister to the members
of divorced and remarried families.
