	" Father Dale" Fallout Priests New Worship Center Angers Diocese, Some Parishioners By Rich Dubek 12 News November 27, 2007 http://www.azcentral.com/12news/news/articles/fatherdalefallout11272007-CR.html Father Dale Fushek is still waiting on the courts to decide if he is eligible for a trial by jury. But Fushek is not waiting to conduct services again. The former St. Timothy's priest has opened his own prayer and worship center, a non-denominational service at the Mesa Convention Center. More than 500 people attended his first service on Thanksgiving day and he plans on holding more services in December. But according to the Diocese of Phoenix, Fushek is still officially a priest on administrative leave and he has been specifically instructed not to conduct public or sacred ministries. Those concerns were also communicated to St. Tim's parishioners on Sunday, when current St. Timothy's Pastor Jack Spaulding told churchgoers "he could not and would not support him in this." Fushek spent twenty years at the Mesa church before his arrest in 2005. He is accused of inappropriate conduct with teenagers and is charged with one count of assault, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of indecent exposure.
