As far as I am aware the only church that will accept divorcees is a methodist church.

My parents were married in a Methodist church for that reason only. xx

Actually it depends where the first marriage took place. If it was in a registry office then there is no need for an annulment in the Roman Catholic Church as the first marriage is not recognised as valid in the first place. An annulment is only needed if the first marriage did take place in an RC church, and it is only warranted under certain conditions. You can't "buy" an annulment.
In the C of E there is no annulment needed but not all vicars are prepared to marry divorcees specially if they are High Church vicars. That is the reason why Prince Charles had to marry Camilla in a registry office, as her former husband was alive, and they only could get a blessing for their second time round. Low Church vicars are less intransigent, and Baptists and Methodists vicars too. The rules for other denominations vary on individual circumstances and individual rectors and things are different in Scotland too. Princess Anne was able to remarry in a Scottish church despite having been married so publically in a C of E church first time round.
The best way to find out where one stands is to go and see the vicar, minister or the priest of the parish where one would like to be married and see what their position is on the matter in view of individual circumstances.

Depends on the denomination

Catholics want him to pay for an anulment first. ( Iknow this is totally stupid, but so is gambling in the church and they do that too!!)
Jesus ran the money changers out of the Church the only time recorded that he was pissed

Jesus said to the women at the well She's been married 7 times and the guy she was now with was a live in----if he didn't recognise all 7 marriages, he would have said you were married once and had 8 live ins----no, he recognised all 7

I think that it may depend on what religion you are. I know that if you are Catholic that you must have an annulment through the church to be able to get married in the church again. The annulment process could take 6 months to a few years. Until you have the annulment you cannot get married in the Catholic church ever again. Oh, and of course it costs a few hundred dollars :)

In 2003 the law has changed that if you have been married before, that you can now be married a second time in church,
past experience which we found out when we got married!!

YES, You can get married as many time as you like in a church. In some religions you can't but most don't care how many times you were married before.

Yes they can but only certain churches do it. My dad divorced my mum 3 years ago and got married to my step mum last year in a church. I think it is the vicar's choice.

Should not be a problem. Only thing is if it's a Catholic church, the first marriage will have to be annulled for the second one to count and/or take place in the church.

Yes. I'm Methodist (Christian) and could remarry in my church if I so desired.

Even Catholics can remarry in the church without the benefit of annulment if they pay enough money!! Anyone who tells you that divorced Catholics can't marry in the church without an annulment is completely and totally wrong. The Catholic church is all about money!

Depends on which Church you are talking about.

The Catholic Church will not recognize a divorce unless the marriage is annulled by the church.

Other denominations are less restrictive.
