CONCERNS have been raised after a former Kirk minister who was sacked after having an affair with a parishioner and masturbating in front of a colleague was employed to work with overseas exchange students.
Dr Elijah Smith was removed from his Glasgow parish in disgrace in 2019 after a Church of Scotland investigation established he had begun an affair with a married congregant shortly into his post; abused his girlfriend; had an affair with a teenager; and fondled himself in front of a kirk staff member.
