Mark Driscoll is talking to pastors about church discipline. He correctly points out that both sides must be heard in church discipline cases. http://forums.thestranger.com/showthread.php?t=12628
However, in the trial of two beloved pastors recently, only the accusers were privy to the charges and until the very last minute the accused were not even invited to their own trial.
Only the accused were given the freedom to present their case. One accuser was not even at the trial, yet submitted a guilty verdict.
Both sides should have had ample opportunity to present their case. This did not occur. The trial was a farce and therefore the verdict and the resultant call for the shunning of the "guilty" pastor should be reversed.
