FLORISSANT, Mo. - A St. Louis County pastor has been charged with stealing more than $21,000 from a church to pay off a mistress.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office says 30-year-old Ralph Sawyer stole the money from Lindsay Lane Missionary Baptist Church, where he served as a pastor.

According to charging documents, Sawyer had been issued an ATM card to pay for church expenses. The church's treasurer discovered funds were missing from the savings account, launching an investigation.

The investigation revealed Sawyer had made 35 withdrawals from the account in June and July, totaling $21,727.50.

6. At least the money was injected into the bottom of the economy, to be circulated

and help everybody. No one was benefited by storing that money in a bank.

10. Let's go rob a bank. I promise I'll put it in the economy

You must realize how difficult it was for me to not make a joke about putting it in the bottom...

9. Clergy, like police, are entirely corrupt in that there is a great deal of corruption in the ranks

and those who are not directly corrupt cover for the rest by refusing to talk about the corruption in their own ranks while wailing about how terrible those outside their ranks are.
