New Edinburgh's Saint Luke Lutheran Church alleges former treasurer Barton Burron embezzled $600,000

Officials at a century-old Lutheran church in New Edinburgh are alleging that a retired public servant who served as its treasurer for 30 years embezzled more than $600,000 from church bank accounts.

In a statement of claim filed April 23 with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Saint Luke Lutheran Church alleges that Barton Burron — who once worked for the Auditor General of Canada and the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions — took the money from church chequing and savings accounts between June 2009 and September 2013.

None of the church’s claims has been proven in court.

In an email, Bart Burron’s lawyer Tom Curran said his client "will respond in the appropriate forum to the allegations, and in particular to the members of the Church of which he been a member and supporter for many decades.”

David Debenham, the church’s lawyer, said Burron filed a notice of intent to defend Friday.

It’s too soon to say if the case will proceed to court, Debenham said. “We really want to hear (Burron’s) explanation. We haven’t got his side of the story yet.”

The church’s statement of claim alleges that Burron “embezzled over $600,0000 from (the church) and used those embezzled proceeds to buy real and personal property, either directly, or indirectly by paying off mortgages or charges against the said real and personal property.”

It alleges that Burron took $289,000 from the church’s chequing account and funnelled it to his numbered company “for his own personal purposes.”

He also took $318,725 from the church’s savings account, the statement alleges, which was used to pay another numbered company for Burron’s “own personal reasons presently unknown to (the church).”

The “embezzled funds” were used to purchase, improve or pay off mortgages on a property at 13 Montcalm St. in Ottawa owned by Burron and his numbered company, the church alleges in the statement of claim.

The church is seeking a declaration from the court that it is the “beneficial owner” of Burron’s interest in the 13 Montcalm St. property, or alternatively is entitled to an “equitable charge” or lien over the property.

The document alleges that the “conversion” of the church’s funds was “deceitfully misrepresented” by Burron as loans and other arrangements, “thus perpetrating a fraudulent misrepresentation as well as misappropriation while acting in a fiduciary duty.”

Burron and his company were “unjustly enriched” by money they received from the church as a result of the alleged breach of his fiduciary duty, “for which they are required to make restitution,” the statement of claim maintains.

According to the statement of claim, Burron has been a chartered accountant for more than 30 years. He worked in that capacity for the Auditor General of Canada for about two decades before becoming an internal auditor at the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

Burron retired in 2010, a spokesman for the Office of the Superintendent said Friday, but is temporarily working there again on a short-term contract.

The church, founded in 1915, has a congregation of about 150 families and is served by a full-time pastor, Rev. Bryan King. Attempts to reach King on Friday were unsuccessful.

In its statement of claim, the church says it appointed Burron as its treasurer, de facto bookkeeper, accountant and chief financial officer based on his job credentials, “trusting that he would provide honest, altruistic and careful advice” on how the church’s finance and accounting functions should operate.

Over a 30-year period, Burron was responsible for managing the church’s financial activities. He was the sole signatory on the church’s chequing and investment accounts, reconciled bank statements to the church ledger, and maintained records of income, revenue, receipts, expenses, disbursements. assets and liabilities, the church document says.

“Bart was in a key position of trust and confidence with (the church),” says the statement of claim, adding that his employment “ended earlier in 2014.”

The statement of claim alleges that Burron “maintained a system of benign neglect that allowed his access to all of (the church’s) financial records, cheques and the like so he could use (the church’s) financial assets as his own.” At some point, the statement of claim alleges, Burron “began to take advantage of his position of trust and confidence.”

LutherQuest (sic) Dodges The Question - Is George Mueller Really Rolf Preus?

This thread should be closed down. It violates the guidelines.

The rest of his body would be in clear view, but he thought that, if he couldn't see you, you couldn't see him.

Blogwatch - Saving Lutheran Eyes - One Pair at a Time

Millions of Lutherans wait for the UOJists to answer
this quotation from their former hero - Johann Gerhard.
They have also abandoned Romans 4:25.

CyberCatholicism
Paul McCain's regurgitation of The Catholic Encyclopedia is closing down, but the lovable faux-editor and full-time Jesuit is allowing adoring comments to pour in - 15 already. One can only imagine the page-views generated. They may hit three figures soon.

LutherQuest (sic) helps gauge the depth of America's grief. One person noted the death of Cyberbrethren, several days after the event. No one has followed with a comment. But there is still time. LQ (sic) is full of opinion, a vast collection - two inches deep. If anyone has mastered the art of repetition and self-congratulation, LQ (sic) has.

At the ALPB Online Forum, where McCain published thousands of ill-considered posts, no one has noted the demise of his xerox service for the Church of Rome.

Bad-luck Brian is a favorite meme.

Intrepid Lutherans
Intrepid Lutherans was started by Steve Spencer (WELS) as a forum for those who wanted to impede the copycatitis of the Jeske cult. But, after watching in silence as WELS kicked out IL's Pastor Paul Rydecki, the blog began publishing all the links they failed to support in any substantial way.

Now if you look at Intrepid Lutherans, the only posts are from Pastor Rydecki. Lesson learned - if you want to publish on IL, get kicked out first. As a group, these intrepid Lutherans vowed to keep publishing. They are just as energetic in writing as they were in defending justification by faith.

Steadfast UOJ
For open forums in discussing agreement with UOJ, there is nothing quite like the Steadfast Lutherans. Ironic witticisms aside, I appreciate their wide-open, obstinate, and ignorant defense of Halle pietistic rationalism.

If someone like Jay Webber coyly starts a thread on ELDONA versus The Rolf Synod, at least 100 comments will follow. Webber failed to note he was the omnipresent peritus for The Rolf Synod, just as he was the Iago for Jon-Boy Buchholz in the defenestration of Rydecki. How does such an energetic person find time to start a second parish in Queen Creek?

ALPB Online Forum
I check in at ALPB, every so often. I used to get great material from the ELCA news releases, as the denomination became gayer than lavender hose, but lack of money has slowed them down.

I count on ALPB to tell me what is brewing in ELCA. Alas, the discussion threads are as savory as church coffee in large aluminum casks.

What is more dramatic than having the first woman ever appointed to be the president of a Lutheran seminary? Even more dramatic, Luther Seminary was home for the Preus brothers, Robert and Jack, both of them departing for the Little Sect on the Prairie, breaking fellowship with Missouri only to join the Big Sect on the Prairie. Moreover, Luther merged with Northwest, which was a bit conservative in its day. Once they questioned ordaining someone who denied the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. They lost, of course, but there was a struggle. Try to find one in the esteemed, over-priced seminaries of today.

Here is my big question. Why has no source acknowledged that this new president, Robin J. Steinke, from New Ulm, Minnesota - is single? Does that not imply another qualification so important for ELCA quotas?

The new presiding bishop is married, even though she cross-dresses and crops her hair. The two new college presidents are married, one to my classmate from Notre Dame. But Robin Steinke remains a puzzle - until she is officially installed perhaps. Do not expect news from news sources, unless they choose to reveal what everyone knows or suspects.

Dr. Robin J. Steinke, new president of Luther Seminary,
 is the first-ever woman president of a Lutheran seminary.
