If you'll refer to the English-Jordan FAQ, which is posted here regularly,
you will find information about Marabeth, including the fact that she was
quickly replaced in First Call. English doubtless got more press because
as a solo artist, his name was more familiar to the masses of people who
listen to the radio but wouldn't know the individual names of the members
of First Call. "Her side of the story" has not been aired, as far as I've
heard.
This has always struck me as odd--it's like the Gospel story of the woman
caught in adultery in reverse...
Oh, well--frankly, I think Jordan was treated decently, probably more the way
English should have been, and at least she herself has the decency not to go
on a "I"VE BEEN FORGIVEN AND REDEEMED!!!" comeback tour like certain other
notable fallen idols...

Marabeth Jordan suffered a miscarriage (of Michael English's child)
shortly after news of their relationship became public. One might assume
that like any woman who has suffered a miscarriage, she has felt the need
to withdraw for time away. Also, the circumstances surrounding her
miscarriage might also lead to the need for time spent alone. It doesnt
satisfy the public curiosity or the media's demands but please try to
remember now and then that she is a real person with a family she is
trying to hold together. You also might try praying for her at least
twice for every very personal (prying seems more appropriate) posting that
you make.
Marabeth Jordan has removed herself from roles of spiritual
leadership (Lisa Glasgow has replaced her in First Call) and I think it
would be great if she could be left with her family and her church to sort
out her private life. If she choses to re-enter the Christian music
arena, perhaps that might be a more sensitive time to ask for your answers.

Marabeth seems to have gone back to her earlier status in Christian
music as a background vocals singer. I don't know how much she has done,
but I know of at least one song on a recently released album where she
sings some background vocals. I personally am glad that she has started
to make her way back.
