Backsliders

The departing head of Tate Modern got a CBE for doing her job whilst studiously policing the State Art line for backsliders.

However you choose to count the time, the Backsliders have been making vintage music fresh for a long time now.

The church often shuns artists who sing R&B as backsliders and rejects them when they come back and sing gospel.

Its members observe foot washing as a rite of the church, and they teach that reclaimed backsliders should be baptized (even though they had formerly been baptized).

There also was a category of penitents which consisted of backsliders.
