ICS -- "Irritable Clergy Syndrome" (It's official)
December 14, 2006
Justin, speaking of pastors and what they are to do, the Archbishop of Canterbury has weighed in on a report addressing bullying and gossip among parishioners. In last saturday's The Times, Ruth Gledhil (their religious correspondent) wrote a piece called, "Evil-minded parishioners making life hell for clergy" (12/09/06). Churches in idyllic rural settings are apparently "a 'toxic cocktail' of bullying and terror."
