Rebuke

Rebuke

In English law and the canon law of the Church of England, a rebuke is a censure on a member of the clergy. [Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1963, [http://www.uk-legislation.hmso.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/ukcm/1963/cukcm_19630001_en_8#pt8-l1g50 art.49(1)(e)] ] cite book | pages=216-217 | title=The Legal Framework of the Church of England: A Critical Study in a Comparative Context | author=Doe, N. | year=1996 | publisher=Oxford University Press | location=Oxford | url=http://books.google.com/books?id=vOJ2_grV8y4C&pg=PA216&vq=monition&dq=bishops+in+foreign+countries+act&source=gbs_search_r&cad=1_1&sig=9iqemkf2eJ34rGyqvtg9V0Sspxg#PPA216,M1 | id=ISBN 0198262205 (Google Books)] It is the least severe censure available against clergy of the Church of England, less severe than a monition. A rebuke can be given in person by a bishop or by an ecclesiastical court.
