The pastoral, canonical, historical and scriptural information, laid out in an accessible fashion, will be helpful to anyone interested in making sense of the Church's current practice. Sr. Vassa also makes some practical, pastoral suggestions about dealing with post-divorce resentments, for anyone ministering to themselves or others after a divorce.
