A Church of England vicar has been convicted by a tribunal of spiritually abusing a teenage boy.
The Reverend Timothy Davis moved in with the boy’s family in 2013 and held two-hour private prayer sessions in the boy’s bedroom, the panel heard.
Mr Davis, of Christ Church, Abingdon, also tried to end the boy’s relationship with his girlfriend, describing her as a “bad seed”.
The Bishop’s Disciplinary Tribunal said it would fix a penalty in due course.
