UPC Pastor Convicted of Slander in Pulpit!
$500,000 Awarded in Slander Lawsuit
This quote from the article is interesting:
Quote:
One of the reasons the pastor gave James Driver as grounds to biblically remarry was that James Driver once found his then-wife Angela Driver wearing a bikini at a swimming pool while with the husband of a mutual friend. The pastor felt that constituted exhibitionism and met the biblical definition of fornication, according to the defense summary.
However, the acts given the congregation that constituted fornication accused Angela Driver of adultery, and the use of the term “fornication” imputed immorality to Angela Driver, the lawsuit stated.

Are the days of pastors calling out individual members of the congregation for sin over? I hope so! It's one thing to preach against sin, but it's another when you name names and can possibly ruin the reputation of someone by your public gossip in front of peers.

Re: UPC Pastor Convicted of Slander in Pulpit!
Slander aside: I don't think going swimming with someone else's husband is a good idea. 
My husband wouldn't appreciate it, that's for sure.

Thats the truth.
If I find my wife in a bikini in a pool with another man (and no one else around) well........
Come on people, even if NOTHING had happened at the time, that is a recipe for disaster.

Hoping the days of manipulation will be tempered by this type of ruling ....
The guy was just trying to justify this remarriage by putting the fornicator tag on a woman who wore a bathing suit.

Re: UPC Pastor Convicted of Slander in Pulpit!
Moreover, Fogarty’s issues with Angela Driver were that she was not submissive and she wore clothing that he believed was immodest, including skirts above the knee, Kennedy said

To many in this culture not submissive = being a fornicating Jezebel witch.
