Church apologises after jailed priest named in prayer list

A church has issued an apology after a priest who is in prison was included on a public prayer list. The naming of the jailed clergyman in intercessions circulated to the congregation prompted complaint, and the church has since said sorry for the error. Details about which church and priest are involved, and why the priest was jailed, have not been given.

Why now: The unusual combination of a imprisoned clergyman being publicly prayed for by name has drawn attention and prompted the church's apology.
