Responding to a separate allegation, the tribunal concluded that Reverend Curran “failed to maintain appropriate boundaries” between himself and a female parishioner by “permitting occasions of nudity in the home”.
In one incident, the Reverend Henry Curran, 48, went into the bathroom to find a member of his congregation in the nude, “but did not leave”, a Church of England disciplinary tribunal has heard.
Vicar reprimanded after walking in on parishioner in the shower An “immature” vicar who tried to help a parishioner have a more relaxed approach to nudity has been reprimanded after he walked in on someone in the shower.
The reverend, who became an ordained priest in 2003, went on a family holiday to the Lake District in April 2016 and a member of his congregation came with them, the tribunal heard.
The tribunal found Reverend Curran had displayed coercive and controlling behaviour, an unacceptable lack of self-control and failed to maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
