An Anglican priest in North Yorkshire has advised his parishioners to shoplift if they find themselves in financial trouble. He recommends that folk steal from the big chains rather than small businesses and comments that society’s attitude to those in need ‘leaves some people little option but crime.’
In response to media interest in the story the Archdeacon of York says, ‘The Church of England does not advise anyone to shoplift’.
But not a word about firing a priest who seems to have forgotten the seventh Commandment!
