TOO MUCH UNHOLY SPRIT LEADS
TO EMBARRASSMENT FOR ANGLICAN BISHOP

From RADIO NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL:

The Anglican bishop of the Central Solomons Diocese in the Solomon Islands has been fined for drink driving and crashing a Diocesan vehicle back on the 1st January. He had also been charged with driving without a driving licence.

Police said earlier in the day his son was seen driving the truck, however later when they were about to leave to pay for more beers, the accused insisted he drive even though he was too drunk. They reportedly went to a liqour shop and to a lodge where they bought more beers and then set off back to the bishop’s official residence.

  1. Sounds like he needs to go to rehab.

    Have they not heard of interventions over in that part of the world?

  3. So female police officers in the UK wear a Charlie Chaplin hat?

  4. Charlie Chaplain was from England as everybody knows. What few people know is that he was a cross-dresser with a particular penchant for police uniforms.

  5. The head of the German Evangelical (Lutheran)church was caught running a red light "under the influence"; it's not just in the Solomons.

    Yes, and she resigned, too, as she believed her authority was compromised. I respect that.

  8. I wonder if he was in full episcopal regalia. That would have been even classier (or do I mean funnier?).

  9. Oh, I do hope he was!! That would be both classier and funnier.
