Some churches across the country send the message: We'll take your money, but not your crap.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, pastors of churches large and small are joining a growing movement to excommunicate parishioners for sins ranging from cheating, drunkenness and stealing to gossip, missing church, and criticizing leaders. Um... is it just us or does that seem a little un-Christian of them?
| What's next, getting ejected from Mass for looking at your watch repeatedly? Are they going to boot little old ladies for unwrapping their hard candy? Kids for being bored? This news will certainly keep us from heading to confession this weekend. How do we teach our kids to have faith when the powers that be are so judgemental? Is this sending the message that we need to achieve perfection to be accepted? |

Church leaders (especially) are held to a higher standard than members, according to the Bible. There are specific sins (Biblically) that a member can be “dis-fellowshipped” from the church. A true church leader can only do what the Bible tells them to do.

and the Bible says … Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. That includes all hypocritical churc-goers and leaders.
