The Bishop says sorry

The Bishop says sorry

The Bishop of Fulham has formally apologised for interrupting an evening concert in a London church while in his dressing-gown and ordering the choir and audience to go home.

A church statement reads: ‘Bishop Jonathan reached out to the organisers on Saturday to apologise for his late-night appearance at the concert, which he now understands had overrun due to earlier technical difficulties.’

The bishop had instructed them to ‘leave my house.’

The post The Bishop says sorry appeared first on Slippedisc.
