Church Bullies

Wow. I know "bullying" is the latest "thing" in the media and elsewhere. But it's a "thing" because it's a thing. And it doesn't just happen in schools and workplaces. It can happen in churches. Author Margaret W. Jones, PhD, writes:

After I was expelled from my third church in the town where I live, I kept trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Why couldn’t I get along with people?
