[Virtue Online] July 28, 2005--ECUSA is proposing a new set of disciplinary canons.
Realize that this revision has a subtle agenda that will affect us as conservatives in the church. Laity being under the canons is a new thing. Also, it appears you can be disciplined for seeking review of the Constitution and Canons in the civil courts. A Bennison could defrock a Moyer again for seeking review in the civil courts, and the initial error by the bishop becomes a red herring. Additionally, the courts have already been clear that the courts won't get involved where a minister or member has resorted to civil courts and is kicked out for doing so. The Disciplinary Canon "revisionists" definitely had a few things (or people) in mind when they set to work on this travesty.
