Crimes of Preachers in the United States and Canada

A chronological compilation documenting reported criminal and moral offenses by clergy across the United States and Canada, presenting concise case entries with date, name, residence, denominational affiliation, and alleged charge alongside brief notes on outcomes or church discipline. Assembled from newspaper accounts and public records, the volume catalogs a wide range of accusations—financial fraud, sexual misconduct, embezzlement, violence, and other abuses—and includes introductory commentary that highlights patterns of clerical hypocrisy and institutional responses. The work functions as an evidentiary survey intended to organize scandals into a single reference for readers skeptical of religious authority.
