Calling the Moonies Christian is... Debatable.

The founder got excommunicated by the Presbyterians.

Really good Behind the Bastards episodes on them btw.

The way you used italics, I gotta ask, is excommunication coming from the Presbyterians unusual compared to other Christian groups?

I was raised protestant, but not presbyterian. Still, I haven't heard a lot of excommunication coming from any protestant group. That is mostly a Catholic thing I think, with some of that happening with maybe Puritans (I'm not that familiar with all of them) back around Salem Witch Trial days.

Protestants excommunicate each other all the time. Only some denominations practice open communion. Many Baptist churches are worse than the Catholics about it. The different denominations are often not in communion with each other for some stupid reason. They do it in different ways, mind you, with a focus on elder councils or something.
