John Gray loses Bishop title

From New Zealand-

An Anglican cleric who offended Jews and Muslims last month, has had his title of bishop partially stripped.

Controversial Anglican leader John Gray shocked visiting Jews in Christchurch last month when he told them the Holocaust "should have taught you a lesson".

Gray, who was head of the Maori Anglican diocese in the South Island, also attacked Muslim speakers, asking what they were doing about the "slaughter of innocent people" by Muslims "under the banner of Isis and al Qaeda".

The Anglican Church apologised and Gray was demoted from his role as vicar general to Maori Anglican Diocese in Aotearoa. He has also been stripped of his title as bishop of Anglican diocese of Te Waipounamu, though retains the general title of bishop.
