Repentance

FRCA

When someone repents of a public sin or of a sin which had to be reported to the consistory, the latter shall not accept his confession of sin unless the member concerned shows real amendment. The consistory shall determine whether the congregation shall be informed afterwards.



CANRC
ARTICLE 69 – Repentance
When someone repents of a public sin or of a sin which had to be reported to the consistory, the latter shall not accept his confession of sin unless he has shown real amendment.
The consistory shall determine whether the benefit of the congregation requires that this confession of sin shall be made publicly and, in case it is made before the consistory or before two or three office-bearers, whether the congregation shall be informed afterwards.

Artikel 75
Van alsulcke sonden die van haer natueren weghen openbaer /ofte door verachtinghe der Kerckelijcke vermaninghen int openbaer ghecomen zijn / zal de versoeninghe (wanneermen seeckere teeckenen der boetvaerdicheydt siet) openbaerlijck gheschiedĂȘ / door het oordeel des Kercken-Raedts : Ende ten platten Lande / ofte in mindere Steden / daer maer eenen Dienaer en is / met advijs van twee ghenae-buerde Kercken / in sulcke forme ende maniere als tot stichtinghe van een yder Kercke bequaem sal gheoordeelt worden.
