Canon 28

On the excommunication of banned clergy who dared to perform divine services without permission.
If a bishop, or presbyter, or deacon, justly deposed for obvious crimes, dares to touch the ministry once entrusted to him, let him be completely cut off from the Church.
Greek original
Εἴ τις ἐπίσκοπος, ἢ πρεσβύτερος, ἢ διάκονος, καθαιρεθείς δικαίως, ἐπὶ ἐγκλήμασι φανεροῖς, τολμήσειεν ἅψασθαι τῆς ποτὲ ἐγχειρισθείσης αὐτῷ λειτουργίας, οὗτος παντάπασιν ἐκκοπτέσθω τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
