Claims are coming days later Andrew John retired as the Archbishop of Wales subsequently Two critical report Bangor emphasized his concerns and wrong behavior at his bishop.

The church in Wales said, “The abuse of alcohol is always inappropriate.”

Mr. John will also retire as a bishop of Bangor on August 31, but the church called for a series of investigations and investigations about the bishop of the bishop and the cathedral.

Jessica, real name, said that in 2022 he was attacked by someone who tried to be a priest who drank at the Bangor Cathedral Oktoberfest event.

“There was too much to drink too much to drink,” he said to the BBC.

“I warned people that he drank more than anyone that night. These warning signs were ignored and caused this attack.”

Jessica said that at the beginning of their 20s, another person was sexually assaulted by the man at the 6th century Gwynedd Cathedral.

He reported it and apologized, but he said that drinking culture had not changed.

“On a Sunday morning, several bottles of prosecco would be experienced on a Sunday morning.”

“All kinds of external activity or large internal activity had prosecco or wine.”

The church in Wales confirmed that Jessica was one of the two people who complained about the man’s behavior and that the priest education was not put forward.

In 2023, after a cathedral concert on Friday, the choir members went to drink.

“A few of the priests came out with the choir,” Jessica remembered. “It was deemed appropriate to make the last seven shoots of Christ.”

The last seven words of Christ refers to the last seven sentences that Jesus speaks of the cross on Friday, as quoted in the Bible.

“Since Christ was the last seven words, we said seven parts of the last seven words in the concert – and somehow it somehow turned into seven shots of Christ.”

“I think I left after the first shot because I was like ‘I don’t think it was suitable’.

Jessica said he took a tour of Rome in June 2023 with a choir.

“Every night we would go to a bar, then to a restaurant,” he remembered.

“When I’m teetotal. I don’t want wine, in this case I don’t want to drink. I don’t want alcohol.

“This is not a good answer, it is questioned beyond this belief. It is as if this alcohol is free. Why don’t you take it? You must have.”

Esme Byrd was a non -professional officer at the Bangor Cathedral for six months, and he regularly sang with choir until he left in January 2023.

The 29 -year -old said that culture and attitude against alcohol were “deeply unhealthy” and some people became “really drunk with disaster.”

“There was a culture of drinking,” Esme said.

“Not always, but there was a lot of alcohol around almost all services or various activities. Any excuse to remove the wine, seemed like any excuse to go to Pub.”

Sometimes Esme, who works directly with children in the choir, said the young members of the choir are worried about the language used, especially around them.

Esme, “This was the level of 18 -degree sexual jokes, the coarse sexual humor made in front of children under six or seven years of age.” He said.

“In terms of protecting education, there was absolutely nothing. There was no education, so there was nothing about me to start and do my job.”

Esme said he was asked to perform a DBS check a few weeks after his start, although he was appointed for months in advance.

“I looked around, and I just thought, it’s not safe,” Esme said to BBC Wales Instruptates. “This is not a safe and nutritious and good environment for children to be in.”

“Rather than a professional organization, it looked more like running after the school club.”

Esme said that he expressed his concerns, but was finally separated from the lack of action because he was disappointed.

Esme, “This is not an evil sense, but a great sense of neglect and neglect and good practice does not follow.”

“Creating an area where a malicious actor can do everything they want.”

The church in Wales said that “concerns about a drinking culture” encouraged them to investigate and that alcohol is not present at the moment “after service.

A spokesman said that they did not believe that the Bangor Cathedral was insecure for children, but that improvements in politics and practice were necessary.

Sözcü said: “Previous concerns about a drinking culture in the cathedral contributed to the decision to assume a visit of a bishop.

“The application group, which deals with the suggestions from the visit, develops a policy of alcohol use. Alcohol is no longer available after service.

“Inappropriate use of alcohol in and during cathedral -related activities involved, some of them encourage some of them to consume alcohol.

“This inappropriate behavior is discussed in the necessary actions after the visit.

“DBS controls are required and the protection of the training provided in line with the church in the British legislation and Wales policies.”

Regarding the blessing of the beer, the spokesman said that this was sometimes applied in churches, but “abuse of alcohol is always inappropriate”.
