Tapping the Till

This is a story that really speaks for itself. Reverend John Henry Walker of the Macedonia Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina pleaded guilty to nine counts of tax evasion and bank fraud. The Associated Press reported that federal prosecutors told the judge in the case that Walker used a church credit card for, “erectile dysfunction medication and hotel visits with female parishioners.” Walker’s attorney told the AP that, “…the government’s allegations of socially irresponsible behavior regarding Pastor Walker’s private life were completely without merit and amounted to just plan dirty litigation.”

The story notes that the church congregation will be voting within the next two weeks on whether Walker will be keeping his job.
