Most definitely J.N.Darby introduced "shunning" into so-called Recovery theology. He introduced the horrible concept that
the basis for our oneness is the common judgment of evil. Obviously, once we swallow that error, it is only the leader, the Oracle, the MOTA, who defines who and what is "evil," and requires proper shunning.
You can read what he did to George Muller, the most shunned man in church history. Yet God Himself never honored that shunning, and some historians have reported that George Muller received more direct and miraculous answers to prayers than any Christian in church history.
