Parishioners, boards of churches, clubs and non-profit organizations should follow these three basic rules: 1) All checks should require two signatures of unrelated people, the treasurer and an officer; 2) An independent audit should be conducted annually; and 3) The person responsible for financial transactions should be rotated annually.
In speaking with the police he (the pastor)revealed that he has a large amount of personal debt that he attributes to his gambling problem.
Records show that he made as many as 200 trips to casinos in Michigan, Nevada and Florida since 2000. Furthermore, he has been gambling since he was relieved of his pastoral duties on June 12, 2007.
In addition, the investigation reveals that: He has made numerous trips out of the state and the country to casinos and Caribbean resorts including Club Orient, [a clothing-optional resort].
Thanks for posting that. It was interesting! Never heard of him.
