Excommunication. A censure imposed by the
Christian Church which deprives a person of the right to administer or receive the
sacraments or to hold office in the church.
The term is then applied to the process of expelling members from the, or a, community in other religions—e.g. the expulsion of a member of the Buddhist
saṅgha (monastic community) if he has committed one of the four offences which are known as
pārājika (involving defeat): sexual misconduct, theft, murder, boasting of supernatural powers. See also (in Judaism)
ḤEREM.
