A black trainee vicar was rejected for a job by church bosses
who said his potential parishioners were "monochrome white
working class".

In an email sent in response to his application, Augustine
Tanner-Ihm was told he "might feel uncomfortable" in the
curacy role at the parish.

The email said despite his "obvious gifts", it was "not worth
pursuing a conversation" about the vacancy in
southern England.

The Church of England has apologised.

Mr Tanner-Ihm, who is from Chicago and is a Reverend
Seminarian in the United States, applied for a role as a
curate at a church in the south of England.

In response, he got an email saying: "We are not confident
there is a sufficient 'match' between you and the particular
requirements of that post.

"The demographic of the parish is monochrome white working
class, where you might feel uncomfortable."

Seems as if church have apologised to vicar but not to good folk of the parish.
