Royal Navy satanist gets promotion
A sailor who admitted being a Satanist has been promoted to a job with the Ministry of Defence.Scot Chris Cranmer became the first registered Devil worshipper in the armed forces three years ago.
Yesterday, his mother revealed her son had been head-hunted for a job in Whitehall. Catherine Cranmer said: "He works hard and he has achieved a lot in a short space of time. He is serving his country."
Chris, 27, was a leading hand on HMS Cumberland, based in Devonport, Plymouth, when he told the Navy he was a Satanist. They accepted it and even offered him space on board to carry out Satanic rituals.
Catherine, of Kirkliston, near Edinburgh, said her son had gone to a service at her local kirk with her when he was home for Christmas. She added: "He is part of our family and his religion has never changed that."
