	Jesuits Remove Popular Priest over Alleged Abuse By Associated Press Sacramento Bee June 21, 2011 http://www.sacbee.com/2011/06/21/v-print/3717528/jesuits-remove-popular-priest.html TOWSON, Md. -- A prominent Jesuit priest has been permanently barred from public ministry for allegedly improperly touching a minor in the 1980s. The Maryland Province of the Jesuits said Tuesday that it removed the Rev. James Glenn Murray from church work after an investigator hired by the Roman Catholic order found evidence supporting the allegation. Murray is living in a monitored Jesuit residence. The Jesuits sent notice of their action to dioceses and high schools where Murray has served since his 1979 ordination. Murray is a liturgy specialist who helped draft a 1990s document for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on African-American worship in the Roman Catholic Church. The priest could not be reached for comment. The religious order did not release Murray's location, but a spokeswoman said they would try to reach him.
