Abtilis
Canon 27
Overview
This canon deals with the removal of clergy who are expelled from the church due to sin, emphasizing that the sin itself is the cause of their removal and that they should fear expulsion.
1Abṭelis, 27. If a bishop, priest, or deacon is cast out of the church because of a sin he committed, or if a great sin is placed upon him, and he does not repent, that sin is the cause, and he has taken the message of the church. Let him be cast out, except for fear, and let him not be received. That sin which he desires, let him fear. Let him be cast out of the church for the wicked.
