A prominent local pastor has been barred from his parish while his diocese investigates him for possible misuse of church money, the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado confirmed Wednesday. He is the third Colorado Springs pastor in two months to be forced from his pulpit for alleged wrongdoing.The Rev. Donald Armstrong, rector for Grace and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, was placed on 90-day paid administrative leave last week by Bishop Robert O’Neill, head of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado.
He’s not allowed on church property during that time, and “will not exercise any functions or pastoral responsibilities as a priest,” according to a diocesan release. …
The diocese refused to say how much money was in question, how the money may have been misappropriated or whether police are involved.
LSB: Hmmm… another high-profile Colorado Springs, loudmouth, gay-hating pastor is under investigation. Are these are our moral leaders?
