A church authority is said to have taken no further action against a vicar accused of damaging his bishop’s car while drunk. The case involves Father Sion Hughes Carew, 40, who was reported to have spent an evening drinking with Bishop of Lincoln Stephen Conway at the bishop’s palace. According to the reporting, after the evening alcohol consumption, Carew drove away barefoot and his actions resulted in damage to the bishop’s vehicle. The church’s decision is being described as effectively “forgiving” or letting the matter lapse, with the vicar facing no further outcome in the account provided. The reports also reference that the incident was initially brought to public attention in November. While details of any formal process or disciplinary measures are not provided in the source text, the common elements across the accounts are that the incident occurred after an evening with the bishop, involved driving barefoot, and ended with damage to the bishop’s car. The latest report indicates the church does not pursue further consequences in relation to the allegations described.
