In English law and the canon law of the Church of England, a rebuke is a censure on a member of the clergy.[1][2] It is the least severe censure available against clergy of the Church of England, less severe than a monition.[2] A rebuke can be given in person by a bishop or by an ecclesiastical court.[2]
