So sad to read about this. I've only conversed with Rory via e-mail occasionally in the past. As my marriage broke up 15 years ago, I know that some "friends" from the church will completely shun you. Indeed, will never talk to you again. Thankfully, a lot more will hold you in prayer and support both parties as much as they can. For me, personally, those people have been a great blessing. What caused our break up? Many things, but growing apart was the main one. As Paul says, a broken vase can be fixed, but it's never the same as it was. Unfortunately, I can relate to that perfectly. My prayers go out to both Rory and Alec.

sorry to hear that Paul, we can only hope that things can be put back together again.

I am not sure he claimed to be a man of God,he was co-founder of God TV. Having said that though,being a man of God does not make one immune to temptation and indeed to yielding to it. There are plenty of examples in the bible ie David, Samson etc and there are still some in our day and some of them try to cover up, which Paul Poulton rightly says;that's what makes them hypocrites. I wish though that Rory had stepped down and run to God instead of running away,for his own good,because if God TV is God's idea,God himself is able to bring to completion what he started. God bless you.

Very sorry to hear about the break up but if it's all God and worship and throwing money into it I don't blame her, my hubbie can spent all his money on GOD TV but when the kids ask to go swimming we have to tighten our belt. Do you notice the first thing that hits you on any site to do with GOD TV is money and give so I'm sure the organisers have a nice lifestyle, better to keep the money for one own kids and their education and welfare. We have GOD TV night, noon and morning in our house but maybe the time and money would be better spent on the environment we live in.

Long winded article with some good points. Bottom line is that to me it seems clear Rory has not been happy for some time. Maybe, Rory tired of money worries and the constant demands of being accountable for this and that.
It is interesting that Wendy made mention that Rory was a musician with a penchant for drums and particularly piano. I didn't know this. Perhaps, tired of the spotlight and pressures all he wanted was to do music.
So, back in familiar territory in S Africa he had an opportunity to go back to his musical roots. Before him was a lady shared his love of music and was happy to embrace and encourage him. Perhaps, Rory was wishing that he was again sharing that lifestyle with Wendy. It is of note that his lover does look like Wendy with that familiar hairstyle.
I was at the Revival Centre launch in January. Rory and Wendy relayed about the pressures of money. The warning signs were there. Perhaps, it had gotten to the stage were Rory wanted out and would have like to have said 'hey guys, I want to do music. Can we have another front man'.
Knowing that couldn't happen he opted for the seemingly next best thing.
