Dr Stephen Sizer, the retired vicar of Christ Church Virginia Water who has for years strongly rejected allegations of antisemitism, was this week due to face a Clergy Disciplinary Measure (CDM) following a further complaint by the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

The Board first made a complaint against the evangelical vicar back in 2012, alleging he had made antisemitic statements and published links to antisemitic web sites. This was resolved in 2013 through a conciliation process under the CDM process.

The conciliation report stated: ‘Without accepting the substance of the complaint, Dr Sizer regrets that on occasions his use of language has caused offence to some and agrees that he should have reflected on his choice of words more carefully.’
