Our church does the same thing. We try to reconcile folks who have left another church and don’t let them join until we’re satisfied that they have tried, or have good reasons to leave. Don’t want them bringing THEIR problems...smile.

Thanks for the reply. I have not heard of many other churches that do this. Very encouraging!

If we are to take our communion seriously, we must be equally serious about those who break communion with their own church.
