Priest suspended for plagiarizing 'straight from Sermons.com' | Mail Online
... it appears you did that very well.
Rev. John McGinn, 65, led the congregation of St. John’s Episcopal in the Cape Cod town of Sandwich, Massachusetts since 1993. That is, until recently when he was put on administrative leave for allegedly stealing sermons.
They came, nearly verbatim, from a book called ‘Dynamic Preaching’ that is only available via an online subscription service at Sermons.com.
‘We investigated further,’ wrote Shaw, ‘and have documentation that not only did he continue to copy sermons and preach and publish them verbatim, in print and online, as his own, but he had been doing so for many years.’
IMO Fr. John ... all that matters is did you do a great job leading the flockSo what becomes of a shamed priest after many years in the cloth? Not a tortured existence, it appears.
‘I'm going to retire,’ the unabashed McGinn said. ‘I loved my time at the parish. That's all. I think I did a good job.’
