You sad, "I think a fallen minister should use his gifts in a more low key ministry like hospital chaplancy, prison ministry, home fellowship groups, house church, neighborhood evangelism and witnessing, etc until the body elevates him on request."

When and where does the bible say Jonah lost his paid position of Pastor let alone his unpaid position of prophet?
When and where did David stop being king over Israel for his transgressions.
The bible does not provide such answers. Restoration in terms of what the bible has to say is always a restoration spiritually between God and the man, not a man to his position of authority.
The reason is there are trust issues particularly when someone is in a position of betrayal...ie he cheated on his wife...He cheated on his wife with a church member...he cheated on his wife with the wife of a church member...he stole church funds. That is not a man to God issue. That is a man to church issue
Im not convinced every man that is a Pastor was called or should be a pastor. How they got that position often depends more on the organization of men than the calling of God.
