Concerning offenses between brethren, the bible never really addresses the matter of the offenses being caused by brethren in church leadership.
cf. Matt 18:17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it
to the church.
Jesus nowhere addresses the matter of "the church" being the one causing the offense. If we can't tell it to the church, who can we tell it to?
I don't intend to debate you about this in the context of the LC, this is just something I have never considered and your post brought it to mind.
