A Knoxville church is decrying the alleged theft of $360,000 by a former church treasurer “blinded by the temptations of the devil.”
In a letter obtained by 10News, Father Anthony Stratis of Saint George Greek Orthodox Church names the man and states that he has admitted using the money for his own personal use.
“The very idea of a fellow hard-working member of St. George involved in such a diabolically-based scheme brings each of us serious heartache, amidst other emotions,” Stratis’ Feb. 26 letter states.
10News is not naming the church member because he has not been charged.
Numerous members declined to comment Thursday when contacted by 10News.
