A Welsh vicar has apologized after publishing offensive jokes in his church newsletter:
A vicar has apologised after parishioners criticised a church magazine for publishing offensive jokes.
Trouble flared after members of St Mary's Church in Mold, north Wales, saw the latest edition of the parish newsletter.
A number complained that the newsletter poked fun at the Irish and contained "smutty" jokes.
The publication, which has a circulation of around 350, contained a spoof "Irish Medical Dictionary" with joke definitions for medical terms.
One churchgoer described the jokes as tasteless and said they offended the Irish, and he believed they had upset a number of parishioners.
As the editor of a church bulletin one of the first rules is "Don't run offensive jokes." *sigh*
