I might disagree with Roderick on this. I say "might" because I don't know how this developed during game play - however, if a clan is willing to expel the players, not just lesser outlawry, but actually permanently expel them from the community, then I'd say they cannot call upon the gods of that community. Outlawry is the greatest punishment the Heortlings can inflict upon their own people - it is effectively a death sentence.
I'm uncertain whether lesser outlawry severs one from the gods of the community - maybe it does on a temporary basis, maybe it doesn't at all.
