Slovenia police search for missing UK churchman

Slovenian police are searching for a Welsh church minister who went missing on a walking holiday, Britain's Foreign Office said on Saturday.

The 52-year-old Reverend David Fox, from the Penarth United Church near Cardiff, went missing on Monday in the Bohinj area of Slovenia, north-west of the capital Ljubljana.

"We can confirm the reverend David Fox was reported missing on Monday," the Foreign Office said in a statement. "We are in touch with colleagues and are providing consular assistance."

The Alpine Rescue Service are also involved in the search.
