I am a member of the PCA (Presbyterian Church of America). I believe that not long ago, the presbytery basically kicked a church out because they were not following correct doctrine. It is not that unusual. I also know several PCA pastors who will not marry couples. I also know of instances where people were not allowed to participate in communion and then asked to leave the church because of sin.

Just because you haven’t heard of it does not mean it doesn’t happen. It happens a lot more in evengelical churches than in the Roman church, IMO.

Sounds interesting, but what does that mean? Are all of the members and clergy excommunicated from the PCA? If so, what does that mean?

Does that mean that they are unable to participate in any PCA or affiliated services?

It sounds more encouraging than I thought, but can you explain exactly what this process means?
