Priest suspended

Canon David McKay, rector of St. Mary?s church, Oak Bay, B.C. has been suspended from priestly duty while a diocesan investigation team looks into charges of sexual misconduct that allegedly occurred 20 years ago when he was rector of St. Paul?s, Nanaimo, B.C.

“The allegations arise from behaviour with adult women,” said Bishop Barry Jenks of the diocese of British Columbia in a pastoral letter to clergy, “and they have been admitted to by him.”
