 In the case of adultery and divorce, the passage of time usually means a member can be restored if he or she wants to be.In the case of ongoing behaviour, cohabitation, homosexual activity, then the terms of the suspension have not been met.The mechanics of "refellowship" follow the reverse of the original process; the individual makes an application to the "ecclesia", and the "Arranging Brethren" give a recommendation to the members who vote.
