This is the story of how money and power has corrupted the Anglican Church structure in a new corporatized Church era. From the bullying of a Bishop to a ‘star chamber’ tribunal process, it exposes the cover-up of a multitude of criminal activities by diocesan agents. This is the story of Church leadership out of control. Of how maverick officials, embroiled in church politics, indulged in Machiavellian schemes and engineered my ‘defrocking’ and exile from the priesthood. While I have never committed any crime, I was judged and condemned by the Newcastle Professional Standards Board who themselves committed multiple atrocities to secure a fabricated verdict. This is the story of my struggle for justice, reconstructed from my own journals. It exposes my own private mistakes and personal struggles as a priest in the church of God. It also exposes how the Director of this Board led his group through a moral quagmire to enable them to lie, cheat, extort, and steal their way through an investigation and Tribunal Hearing, covering up the mess with the veneer of church respectability.
