Authorities say a reverend who is part of a theft investigation used money from a church trust fund to pay for his two children's college education.

A Colorado Springs police detective said in an affidavit released Tuesday that the Reverend Donald Armstrong may have misappropriated $392,000 from a Grace Church trust fund. Police took financial documents and computers from the Grace and Episcopal Church in November after an 18-month investigation.

Armstrong is accused of taking funds from Grace and St. Stephen's, the congregation he headed before he and his followers broke away in early 2007 to affiliate with the Convocation of Anglicans in North American.

Police are still investigating the case and have not yet turned it over to prosecutors.

Yet another loser trying to pass himself off as a person of God. Some people of religion live by their own set of standards that apply to only them when it is convenient, and have an "opinion" about everyone else when it is convenient. It seems as though there is a large number of people trying to pass themselves off as Christians or people of God when they are anything but. On judgement day I wonder if these people will be judged more harshly for their judgement of others, their deception and their misgivings as they pretended to praise the lord.
