In a local church setting it can be devastating to a congregation. It has taken our church 6 months to deal with this situation, I wasn't involved until I came on the scene. But even 6 months later there still our issues regarding this thing that still pop up every now and then.
The plague is the bitterness that gets spread around, both preachers and saints need inoculation from it.

It's happened that the opposite occured...the Pastor spread rumors about a non-pastor. It's also happened between ministers...Look at Juanita Bynum and Bishop Weeks...If that can happen perhaps ministers should not be married?
It's just a lot of what ifs and frankly that is life. It can happen. It will happn regardless of if it's a Pastor/non-Pastor relationship and the results either way can be devistating. An ex-Pastor friend can spread all sort of trash on the ex-Pastor friend and ruin his reputation in the fellowship and not just the local church
