The Necessity of
Excommunication
Chapter 4: Being stewards
of the grace of the cross means taking repentance and change seriously that we
might be a holy covenant community
- A shocking sin (v1)
- The sinfulness of puffed-up acceptance / celebration of sin (v2)
- A serious public clear unrepentant sinner should be “handed over to Satan” (vv3-5)
(1) For the sake of the
salvation of his soul (v5)
(2) For the sake of the
purity of the church’s Passover Feast (vv6-12)
Good news?
Us?
(The Book of Common Prayer
Communion Service and The Canons of the Church of England - B 16 Of
notorious offenders not to be admitted to Holy Communion)
