I like the first paragraph. I would add, in the proper manner (talk to brother alone; two witnesses or three; tell the congregation).
The second is a little vague: the
"...group doing the ex-communicating..."; I believe you mean the entire Church is the group, right?
I can visualize one little group in Church ex-communicating another little group;
well...you know what I mean.
