CWN Editor's Note: An employee of the Diocese of Westminster, England, received a two-year suspended sentence for transferring more than £96,000 ($130,600) of diocesan funds to her personal account.
“All in all, you were funding yourself to a reasonably good standard of lifestyle—grossly and dishonestly,” Judge Mark Weekes told Francisca Yawson, formerly a gift aid and operations technician for the diocese.
