Church discipline

Discipline in respect of communicant members

A communicant member who obstinately rejects the admonition by the consistory or who has commited a public or some other serious sin shall be suspended from the Lord’s Supper. If he continues to harden himself in sin, the consistory shall publicly announce this to the congregation so that the congregation may be engaged in prayer and admonition and the excommunication may not take place without its cooperation.
