The dressing gown-clad Bishop who told a choir to stop their ‘terrible racket’ was the vicar at a historic church when it held a ‘blasphemous’ fashion show featuring satanic images.
Models wearing devil horns and displaying upside-down crosses paraded down the aisle-turned-catwalk of St Andrew Holborn church for a London Fashion Week event in 2017.
A former Bishop said at the time that the 'satanic' aspect of the show was ‘not acceptable’, adding: ‘Christ’s name is being dishonoured, it is blasphemous.’
And theologian Dr Adrian Hilton wrote of the event: ‘How is it possible that a sacred space can be used for what can only be described as Lucifer lauding? How does hosting a Satanic Fashion Show glorify God?’
The show was highlighting the work of controversial Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu, whose creations have been worn by celebrities including singer Rihanna.
