'Distress' at C of I cleric's conviction

The Church of Ireland Bishop of Clogher, Right Rev Michael Jackson, has expressed his "deep distress" at a case involving a clergyman of the diocese who was convicted in court last week of possessing indecent images of children, writes Patsy McGarry.

Rev Stephen Crowther (48) was placed on the sex offenders register for five years and fined £2,500 at the court in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh.

He had been rector at the Holy Trinity parish in Lisnaskea.

Before arriving there in 2001 he served in the Philippines, Dublin, Belfast and Kilkenny.
