Subtle Racket Hitting The Churches Of America
A 1950s era AP piece by George W. Cornell warns that con artists prey on churches and pastors. The article cites ministers like Rev J Michael Allen of St Mark's Bouwerie and Rev Glendon E Harris of Christianity Today noting the ease of swindles due to open church doors and sympathy. It covers Chicago Theological Seminary surveys, risk factors, and strategies pastors use such as refusing cash and directing donors to reliable aid sources. It features thoughts from Rev Robert G Torbet and Rev Paul M Conley on balancing mercy with prudence.
