Can a divorced man married by orthodox priest marry again by an orthodox church?

Answer 1

Yes. While the Church does not encourage divorce, it allows a divorced person to marry again in an Orthodox Church, although the service is slightly different. You may need to check with your priest to see if you first need to obtain an ecclesiatical divorce, which is separate from a civil divorce.

Answer 2

Usually this is not allowed, as the Orthodox Church only accepts marriage between two Orthodox Christians as the correct way. In these cases, the non-Orthodox partner needs to become Orthodox first. However, especially in Western countries, some Orthodox Churches will allow a mixed marriage to take place, for example between an Orthodox and a Catholic, so long as the couple agrees to baptize and raise any children in the Orthodox Faith. The couple may also need to obtain an ecclesiatical divorce first, before being allowed to marry again in a church. Contact your local Russian Orthodox priest or bishop to confirm their specific requirements.  

Answer 3

The simple answer is "yes". There are many pastors of other Christian faiths, including Roman Catholicism, who convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. As the Roman Catholic faith does not allow it's priests to marry, the Eastern Orthodox Church does. In fact, many of the Orthodox parish priests are married with children. A seminarian is a man who is studying to become a priest. During his studies, a seminarian must make the decision to either be ordained as a married priest or as a celibate priest. If he chooses to marry, he must do so prior to his ordination as a deacon, since it is against Orthodox Canon Law for a priest to get married. For this very reason, many seminarian graduates wait a profound period of time before they accept the holy sacrament of ordination so that they allow themselves ample time to find their "presvitera", that is, the woman that will become the preacher's wife. It takes a very special woman to fill that role, as she will become an important role model for all the Orthodox wives in her husband's parish. Therefore he must be extremely careful in his selection of who will become his spiritual partner. Often times, a seminarian will plan to be married, ordained a deacon then ordained a priest (in that order) all in the same weekend, since all three occasions are cause for celebration with friends and family as witnesses to these Godly callings in life.

I hope this explanation helps. :-)
