Bishop of Gloucester, Michael Perham under investigation for sexual assault

From the BBC:

The Bishop of Gloucester has been interviewed by police investigating two allegations of indecent assault.

The Right Reverend Michael Perham announced on Friday he was to “step-back” from his duties with immediate effect.

A 66-year-old man attended a police station in Gloucester on Tuesday but was not arrested, police said.

The Diocese of Gloucester said as it was a police matter it would not be commenting further.

The Church of England, demonstrating that it really can move quickly when it has the proper motivation, has changed the web page for the Bishop of Gloucester to say this:

Perham after

Until very recently the page looked like this:

Perham before

In case anyone is tempted to jump rashly to the wrong conclusion, the Church of England categorically denies that its bishops are carefully selected from a genetic pool known for its involuntary, excessive, prurient, lascivious and frequently deviant interest in sex, one that is matched only by overpaid celebrities and Catholic bishops. Stop laughing.

  1. If the Bishop really belong to God and if he is a faithful servant of God, then he can certainly pray to God for protection and deliverance.
