“Bullying has significant, far-reaching consequences… Bullying is antithetical to healthy organizational culture, …safety, and professionalism. A culture of safety and respect … is foundational to the well-being of everyone….”

The American Medical Association (AMA) defines workplace bullying as “repeated, emotionally or physically abusive, disrespectful, disruptive, inappropriate, insulting, intimidating, and/or threatening behavior targeted at a specific individual or a group of individuals that manifests from a real or perceived power imbalance and is often, but not always, intended to control, embarrass, undermine, threaten, or otherwise harm the target.” Workplace bullying in medicine

Should ethics in the church be less than in medicine?
