Noah Njegovan, the son of the Bishop of Brandon, was arraigned on fraud charges in April 2013. In March 2014, the charges were withdrawn but now the Diocese of Brandon is suing Njegovan for $350,000.
The bishop, Jim Njegovan, attempted to endear himself to his congregations by forbidding them from distributing the Anglican Planet, by removing a portrait of his predecessor Bishop Malcolm Harding from the cathedral and informing him that, because he had joined ANiC, “he could no longer exercise any ordained ministerial function within the Church and not use ministerial titles or wear clerical vesture.” So much for inclusion and diversity. As it turns out, it seems that the bishop would have been better off diverting some of his energies into explaining to his son why embezzling from one’s employer is a career limiting endeavour.
From here:
The Anglican Diocese of Brandon is suing a priest in a bid to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars allegedly embezzled using a credit card.
According to a statement of claim recently filed in Brandon Court of Queen’s Bench, the diocese is suing Noah Njegovan for $350,000, plus other damages and costs.
One has to be amazed at the fact that this man has not been removed from office until the matter clears the courts. On the other hand I am not surprised considering the Primate supported the actions of Michael Ingham, Michael Bird and the Diocese of Huron in legally stealing properties. This simply shows the depth in which the ACoC has sunk in its rejection of the true Gospel.
So what am I to make of this, specifically the actions of the Diocese? That fraud is forgivable? I suppose. But does the Diocese “turn the other cheek”? Apparently not. They want the money!
So go ahead and screw around with morals and values all you want. Just keep you hands off their money, or else!
