There was a little more to the story that I left off. The man broke off his relationship with the girl when his guilt forced him. He told me that he repented before the LORD and quit the ministry. He went into secular work. When the current church called him, he thought that it was a signal from God that he had been forgiven, and was now ready to resume his ministry. I told him that I had a problem that he had kept it quiet, but his wife and his church had forgiven him, so it was not my call.
One of my questions is, assume that his wife chose to leave (oth being Christians) but his church kept him on, would his ministry be valid? By the way, his home church where he was ordained, and that had given him his license, revoked those.
