The Church of England has suspended a rector who cheated on his wife using a dating website.
According to The Sun, Rev Martin Waswa pretended to be single and a fundraiser for the charity Christian Aid before he began a three-month affair.
He did not tell the woman he met online he was actually a married father of two, or that he worked for the Church.
The Assistant Curate of St John the Evangelist Church in Edmonton, London (above), was suspended from ministry at a disciplinary hearing. His ban starts in May.
It heard that Rev Waswa did not close his online dating account when he married in 2010 and only told the woman he was already partnered when his wife forced him to.
He admitted conduct unbecoming or inappropriate for a clerk in Holy Orders and has begun marriage counselling.

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
