Guest deanmillie Posted April 4, 2012 at 05:24 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 at 05:24 PM We have a person in our church who has removed his membership, due to some differences in theology, but still attends regularly. Some members desire to not allow him to attend. If we call a meeting of the members do we have any authority over telling a non member they can't attend services?

Guest deanmillie Posted April 4, 2012 at 05:41 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 at 05:41 PM You do not have to be a member to attend Sunday services. Can we vote to ban a non member from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
