A Practical Guide to Ecclesiastical Discipline Stephen Nsengiyumva

Ecclesiastical discipline has always been an important aspect of the church. From the very first book of the bible to the last one, discipline is an integral part of the life of the people of God. Discipline has has always been unmissable mark of the people of God. Together with faithful preaching of the word of God, faithful exercise of sacraments, church discipline was seen by reformers as the third mark of the church. This book sought to establish solid grounds that corrective church discipline is the highest expression of congregational love. You must must love your brothers and sisters enough to confront them. Church discipline is not a tool to cast people out of the church, but it is an imperative practice and a tool given to the church to restore erring members back to the community and communion of believers.
