I'm always sorry to see any marriage, especially that of a pastor and wife, come to an end. And this will have an effect on CBF, though I think their response will be compassionate and ministry oriented, and not critical or judgmental.

This is an old story. It was news back in August. I haven't seen anything since.

Outside of the news announcement, there has been nothing on the wire or in CBF circles about this since that August announcement.

It's not a secret, obviously, and while there are limits on where privacy begins, this is someone who is the leader of a Christian organization, and her husband was pastor of one of its affiliated congregations, and involved in the organizational leadership. It would certainly not be off limits for those who have an interest to discuss the impact something like this will have on the organization.

Unless it turns out that she filed for divorce so she could marry her old girlfriend from high school, I doubt it'll have a big impact.

The CBF put this out months ago, presumably because it was understood to be relevant news to those involved. To everyone's credit it hasn't had much public discussion. In the SBC a divorce would lead separation.
