11.1 The practice of discipline is essential to the well-being of the Church. Teaching, mutual encouragement, training and correction are part of this discipline in its broadest sense, as is pastoral care. Formal Church discipline is necessary when a member neglects his, or her, responsibilities towards the fellowship or acts in a divisive manner within it, commits serious sin, or embraces serious doctrinal error. Its purpose is to restore the erring member to fellowship with God, to mend the broken relationships between the erring member and the Church, and to demonstrate the fact that Christ calls His people to be holy.
