Treasurer Albert Nisbet Accused Of Building Fund Shortfall
The Louisville Baptist Tabernacle faces a scandal as treasurer Albert Nisbet is accused of misappropriating funds from the building fund. Pastor Rev Abner K Wright alleges Nisbet’s accounts were misrepresented to four banks, with loans secured through manipulated notes and mortgages over years. Nisbet, blind, was once regarded as wealthy and generous to church finances, but investigators warn of the risk of dishonest officials harming congregations. Reports note prior church fund misdeeds and urge stricter oversight for treasurers to prevent further losses.
