Tory-Bashing Welsh Bishop Goes on Leave

Updates
The Rt. Rev. Joanna Penberthy, Bishop of St. David’s, will go on sick leave for the next month, amid ongoing contention over a March Twitter message in which she warned “never trust a Tory.” The announcement by the diocese’s archdeacons that the 61-year-old Welsh bishop is unwell and under a doctor’s care came two days after the Archbishop of Canterbury said in a letter to the Secretary of State for Wales that he was “deeply embarrassed by the use of such language by a church leader.”
