Bishop Alan’s Blog: Bully pulpit — On baiting of the Clergy

An interesting piece about bullying in the church. There’s an article in the Church Times too. I can’t help but feel that we’re in sad times when congregations and clergy need protection from each other through guidelines and the threat of legal action. While these things raise awareness and positive action can be valuable in reducing incidents, legal action is never a route to resolution – just division, bitterness and even  retribution.
