Abstract
This article discusses an issue that the disciplinary literature once referred to as the hottest of the hot topics of disciplinary law: publicity. There are still all sorts of questions in this area. For example, on the permissibility of naming and shaming. Or is it better to speak of naming and praying in church disciplinary law? It has been found that there is limited disclosure in church disciplinary law. There are theological and legal reasons that explain that premise. However, a clearer definition of the rules on this in church orders would be desirable. Additional safeguards are needed to minimize the disadvantages of the lack of openness and the resulting potential threats to due process rights.
