===Excommunication Ekskomunikacija ===
Girolimon (1995) compares the teachings of Menno Simons with those of Protestant reformer [[John Calvin]] (1509–64), focusing on the issue of excommunication. This theological analysis stresses sharp contrasts between the two leaders on four basic principles: on procedures leading to excommunication, on the severity of sanctions on the excommunicant, on the restoration of a repentant individual, and on civil punishment. Calvin and Menno, each a leader of distinct wings of the Reformation, both believed this extreme form of discipline to be essential to the function of the church in society, agreeing on the basic grounds for excommunication as expressed in the New Testament. Menno, however, envisioned the application of reprimand as a process administered by the entire church body against any sin; Calvin reserved excommunication for especially severe transgressions as identified by the [[Company of Pastors]] and the [[Genevan Consistory|Consistory]]. Among other disagreements, Calvin approved civil punishment for certain forms of unorthodoxy while Menno advocated strict church/state separation. They differed most profoundly in their views on why church discipline was necessary. Simons saw human perfectability as attainable after conversion, while Calvin stressed an Augustinian theology of human depravity.<ref>Michael Thomas Girolimon, "John Calvin and Menno Simons on Religious Discipline: A Difference in Degree and Kind," ''[[Fides et Historia]]'' 1995 27(1): 5–29</ref><ref>Charles Wiley, "'Hand this Man over to Satan': A Comparison of John Calvin and Menno Simons on Excommunication," ''[[Fides et Historia]]'' 1993 25(3): 16–32</ref>
Girolimon (1995) poredi učenja Meno Simonsa sa učenjima protestantskog reformatora [[John Calvin|Džona Kalvina]] (1509–64), fokusirajući se na pitanje ekskomunikacije. Ova teološka analiza naglašava oštre suprotnosti između dvojice vođa na četiri osnovna principa: o postupcima koji vode do ekskomunikacije, o ozbiljnosti sankcija za izopštenika, o obnavljanju pojedinca koji se kaje i o građanskoj kazni. Kalvin i Meno, svaki vođa različitog krila reformacije, obojica su verovali da je ovaj ekstremni oblik discipline od suštinskog značaja za funkciju crkve u društvu, slažući se o osnovnim postavkama za ekskomunikaciju, kako je to izraženo u Novom zavetu. Meno je, međutim, zamišljao primenu ukora kao proces koji sprovodi celo crkveno telo protiv svakog greha; Kalvin je rezervisao ekskomunikaciju za posebno teške prestupe koje su identifikovali [[Company of Pastors|Društvo pastora]] i [[Genevan Consistory|Konzistorija]]. Između ostalih neslaganja, Kalvin je odobrio građansko kažnjavanje za određene oblike neortodoksnosti, dok je Menno zagovarao strogo odvajanje crkve od države. Najdublje su se razlikovali u stavovima o tome zašto je crkvena disciplina neophodna. Simons je video ljudsku savršenost kao dostižnu nakon obraćenja, dok je Kalvin naglašavao avgustinovsku teologiju ljudske izopačenosti.<ref>Michael Thomas Girolimon, "John Calvin and Menno Simons on Religious Discipline: A Difference in Degree and Kind," ''[[Fides et Historia]]'' 1995 27(1): 5–29</ref><ref>Charles Wiley, "'Hand this Man over to Satan': A Comparison of John Calvin and Menno Simons on Excommunication," ''[[Fides et Historia]]'' 1993 25(3): 16–32</ref>
