THIS is the bizarre moment a bishop wearing a dressing gown storms into his own church and demands the congregation stops the “racket”.
The disgruntled bishop interrupted the concert in to demand they “leave his house”.
Jonathan Baker, the bishop of , stood barefoot in front of a puzzled 300-strong audience.
“You are in my house - can you leave it now please. Thank you, it’s over,” he said.
“It’s gone past 10pm and this is a terrible racket.”
A church staff member then asked the crowd to leave which triggered boos.
The choir didn’t leave without playing one last song, however.
They sang an Acappella version of ABBA’s Dancing Queen before stepping down.
Benedict Collins, who was there with his 10-year-old daughter, told Sky News he thought the bishop was joking at first.
“This work deserves respect, not to be disparaged as a ‘terrible racket’,” he slammed.
A spokesperson for the Diocese of London told The Guardian: “Bishop Jonathan reached out to the organisers on Saturday to apologise for his late-night appearance at the concert, which he now understands had overrun due to technical difficulties.”
