Excommunicate!

Washington Post has an embarrassing story about how Christian leaders are supporting racist provisions in Alabama's constitution. InstantReplay calls for churches to withdraw communion from church leaders who put an anti-Christian political agenda above the command to love one another. No amount of legalese gymnastics can save the Alabama Christian Coalition and others from the cold, hard truth: they are supporting racism and hatred, and dividing the body of Christ. This is no small matter; it is both disgusting in the eyes of man and God and it is destructive to the church. Following the Bible's instructions on such matters, leaders who espouse this evil should be expelled by their denominations and the Body of Christ in American and around the world should renounce them as brothers until and unless they repent.
