This is a news article I found. I'm pasting it because of it's information. He's kind of boring for me so I don't watch him very much. ATLANTA Charles Stanley and his wife, Anna, have divorced. According to an official of First Baptist Church, Atlanta, Stanley will remain as senior pastor.Stanley, 67, told the congregation in a service May 21. Following his report, Gerald Spicer, church administrator, told the congregation Stanley would remain as senior pastor. The congregation rose in applause.According to the May 23 edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Anna Stanley filed a petition as "A.J. Stanley" requesting a divorce from "C.F. Stanley" on Feb. 16 charging their marriage of 44 years was "irretrievably broken." An Atlanta judge signed the final decree May 11 following the execution of a property agreement by the Stanleys April 5.The Stanley's troubled marriage was made public in the 1990s and caused some struggles in the church because of an unwritten policy that First Baptist not allow divorced men to serve as ministers or deacons.Stanley told the congregation in 1995, "If my wife divorces me, I would resign immediately.""We hate it that things like this happen, but our church is moving right along," said the vice chairman of the church's deacons, Jerry Beal, according to the Atlanta newspaper. "He is our pastor, and he will remain our pastor."Pastor of the Atlanta church since 1972, Stanley is a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention and his In Touch television ministry is seen and heard around the world.

You aren't even worth anyones time you're so negative and fault finding. You really do need to be loved on or something.

Again as I said at the beginning of the review that I posted it because of the information. I did give 2 stars because he didn't do what he said he would and how cheesy the board Deacon's was to change there policy because he's well know. Your welcome to write your own review. I noticed you have not wrote one yet:)

But according to the Bible, if you are a believer and your spouse wants a divorce, you are to let them go. But as a believer you are not to divorce your spouse. He did exactly the right thing according to the Bible. He had no choice in the matter; SHE is the one who wanted a divorce, not him.
