No Unchristian Conduct. SECTION 8. If a member of this Church were
to treat the author of our textbook disrespectfully and cruelly, upon
her complaint that member should be excommunicated. If a member,
without her having requested the information, shall trouble her on

considered an offense.

a sufficient evidence thereof.

publishes, or causes to be published, an article that is false or
unjust, hence injurious, to Christian Science or to its Leader, and

for not less than three years from his or her office in this Church
and from Church membership.
