The Task Force on Church Discipline grew out of the Union
in Christ Declaration of the Presbyterian Coalition in 1998. We recognized
that a Church faithful to Jesus Christ is one in which members are accountable
to God and to each other for living out the Gospel in holiness and purity.
Refusal to live under the authority of the biblical and
constitutional standards of the church, acceptance of theological pluralism, a
distorted understanding of grace that encourages moral permissiveness, and
neglect of faithful examination of officers are realities within our
denomination.
The Task Force on Church Discipline serves as a resource for Presbyterians
who seek to practice discipline within their congregations and higher governing
bodies. The task force is made up of church members and officers who have
interest and experience in this area, and we offer our help to those who ask it.
Please contact the Coalition office if you want assistance.
