A vicar who previously crashed a bishop’s car while over the drink-driving limit is appointed to a new role in London. The reports say the incident involved the Bishop of Lincoln’s vehicle and that the vicar was found to be three times over the legal alcohol limit.
The outlet reports that the Church of England places him at a Grade II listed church in Chiswick, west London. The available coverage focuses on the alleged circumstances of the prior incident and the fact of the new appointment, but does not provide additional details on any disciplinary process or the terms of the new position. As only one outlet is provided here, there are no other differing angles or corroborating accounts to weigh against this account.
Overall, the story centers on the contrast between a prior driving incident and a subsequent church appointment, with the reported emphasis on the drink-driving figure and the location and status of the new parish site.
