A new website has been published which will have relevance to those Christian people and churches where bullying behaviour is a problem It is called Bully Alert and can be accessed by clicking the link.
Because workplace bullying is a major problem that goes largely unrecognised, virtually all organisations in which this evil behaviour is tolerated, and sometimes used as a tool of management, deny that it is a reality within its jurisdiction. But that is patently not the case.
Over the past 14 years, I have had many people in touch with me, right across the religious denominations, who have been adversely affected by workplace bullying, and who suffered horrendously as a result. These dear people did not receive any help from their churches, and the reason is quite clear - it was the churches who were the bullies. It is bad enough being bullied in an ordinary workplace, but to be bullied in and by the Christian church is inexplicable. This is the caring profession par excellence, yet people's lives have been destroyed by the tolerated and validated behaviour of these religious professionals.
Please keep watch on both these websites - http://www.BullyAlert.blogspot.com/ and http://www.TheReformedFaith.blogspot.com/
Materials are offered on Bully Alert for those who want to understand this evil phenomenon. It is also important for Christians that they gain a biblical perspective on this unchristian behaviour and also find the comfort they need to combat it.
