Pastor, I agree. However, this is a fairly large church and I'm afraid there has been some very long lasting damage. I believe it will split the church body. The deacons I doubt will stand up and admit a wrong-doing in this scenario. Right or wrong on their decision (which should have been a recommendation) the failed the bible Mt 15-17 ,1 Cor5:2-13 and 2 Cor 5-8 as well as the constitution of our church. There are a lot of hard feelings which we try to need to recover. My original question to this whole thing is what recourse if ANY do we have on the deacon body should they not admit wrong-doing. Thanks...In Christ..............

I know this is kind of vague I really don't want to release details. However, I will say they essentially handed a very suggestive letter of resignation to a minister of education (19 years of service) and minister of music and then wanted to present this at a business meeting as they had resigned. This all with NO paper trail of wrong doing or deficiencies on either gentleman! Plus no presentation to the church about it. It leaked out to the church body and now things are a mess!

Wow, I'm kinda of shocked! The bible is clear on how to handle issues in the church as well as how deacons are suppose to act 1 Tim 3:8. Deacons as far as I'm concerned are to concern themselves with the church but not to make decisions for the church. The church body has the final say. We currentyl are w/o a pastor and the deacon body made a decision for the church. In my opinion, the deacons are to be a deacon body (office) and NOT a board of directors. I'm sorry for me when it comes to church matters I need to follow the bible constitution of the church and not man's law.

Our deacon body has acted to make a decision for the church. This is against our constitution and now has caused such an uproar that I feel irreparable damage has been done. They may have acted in good faith however, the way they went about doing it was WRONG. They did not follow Mt 18:15-17. Is there a recourse against the deacon body besides asking a No confidence vote? We are southern baptist.
