Is this the "if a brother sins, talk to him about it, take witnesses/elders, etc., and if all that doesn't work..." part?
Yup. :)

This came up in our home group last week when we were talking about the Ragamuffin Gospel and grace vs. accountability.
Funny you should bring the topic of "excommunication" up Mir. For some reason, I've been bumping into the subject recently. Having pastored for 11 years, the issue was always a difficult one. I've come to the conclusion that churches either a.) Totally disregard the practice or b.) Abuse the practice. It's a subject I think the modern American church would do well to grapple with.
I think the modern church is afraid of discipline on the one hand (lawsuits) and skeptical of it on the other (individual rights). Without it, you end up with a church that acts like the world.
Which is what we have.
