A vicar convicted of assaulting his wife and drinking and driving has been ordered to carry out community service.
Reverend David Davies, 50, had assaulted his wife by grabbing her hair and pulling her to the ground, Torquay Magistrates' Court heard.
The former Army chaplain was two and a half times over the drink drive limit when he was arrested in November 2014.
Davies was banned from driving for two years and ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work over 12 months.
He was previously relieved of his duties as the parish priest in Cockington, Devon.

Not any more, I guess!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
