I have grade twelve, a bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Religion, Psychology and a Masters of Divinity from Golden Gate Southern Baptist Seminary in Mill Valley California. I have written and self published a fictional novel which is not seling dealing with church discipline. I believe many churches are in direct and deliberate rebellion concerning the discipline of the saints. They find people guilty, disciplining them, often without telling them they are even being disciplined. In doing this, brothers and sisters in Christ may be falsely accused and unable to deny such since they have no idea what is going on. In this book one is accused, found guilty and punished with the real reasons kept secret from him. Dying after being struck by a car as he heads home from work on his bicycle, he is accused of attempting suicide, his parents, staunch atheists take the accusation seriously and sues the church for his wrongful death. Then things get very messy! If the church had been a lot more open about their actions, it would be others who would have faced the discipline!
