Bishop ditches crozier to cozy up to his flock

A bishop has ditched the ceremonial trappings of his office to go undercover in a new television show in a bid to find out why people are turning away from his Church.

Trevor Williams, Church of Ireland Bishop of Limerick and Killaloe, was known as simply Trevor during his stint posing as an “RTÉ reporter” to get to know his parishioners.

In a format similar to the Channel 4’s Secret Millionaire series, the Limerick-based bishop got to rub shoulders with unsung heroes around Ireland in the documentary.
