Bishop Eddie Long's divorce on hold

TOGETHER?: Bishop Eddie Long and his wife Vanessa

BISHOP EDDIE Long and his wife, Vanessa, have put their plans to start divorce proceedings on hold, according to the DeKalb County Online Judicial System.

Last year the embattled pastor's wife of 21 years filed for divorce days after Long settled a lawsuit made against him by five young men from his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, who had accused him of sexually abusing them.

The latest notes on the divorce record reportedly show that the case had been 'dismissed without prejudice' at the request of the couple.

The news comes after Vanessa made a statement via her attorney in December claiming she was 'determined' to split with her husband, despite speculation that she was having second thoughts.

The couple have yet to confirm their reconciliation.

I am glad that Eddie Long Wife Vanessa has return to support her husband of 21 years. I also hope in time she is able to get him to step down as a church leader and get the help he has needed for a long time. I did not judge him over his issue with gay men. He is not my pastor and I am not in his church. But it was hard for me to understand how he could allow him self to be crown king in his Christian church by non christians and then not apologise's to fellow believers World Wide.? I am sure his wife could seen after leaving him not only was he lost but he was being set up to stumble and fall from high places. I don't know Eddie Long or any thing about his ministy,? but I do know that when you are called to serve, you put God first no matter what, after all He is the Lord of lords and the King of Kings. I do hope you both can sort it all out, I will pray for you both that some good will come out of this in Jesus's Name. Amen
