Board of Deputies Senior Vice President: Richard Verber has the condemned the brutal murder of priest in a church in Normandy: “This callous murder of a priest in France in the name of a twisted ideology is an attack on all of us. The murder of a defenceless 84-year-old, a man who had dedicated his life to his community and was going about his own business is beyond disturbing. We express our deepest sympathies with the residents of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and the people of France.”
