Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

TBN Still in the Legal Hot Seat


TBN still in legal hot seat
Becky Yeh - OneNewsNow California correspondent - 2/23/2012 3:45:00 AM
The woman suing attorneys who work with the world's leading Christian broadcasting network is continuing to push her allegations.
As previously reported on OneNewsNow, Brittany Koper, the granddaughter of Trinity Broadcasting Network's (TBN) Paul and Jan Crouch, is accusing the network of handing out over $50 million in charitable assets. Koper's lawsuit is against two former TBN lawyers, accusing them of negligence and breaking their "fiduciary duty and other transgressions."

According to the plaintiff's attorney, Tymothy MacLeod, Koper has filed additional reports with the Orange County district attorney, the police, and the California State Bar. MacLeod also tells The Orange County Register that his client's report to the Internal Revenue Service will be available shortly.

Koper allegedly discovered illegal financial decisions made by the company, but she was told to fabricate public disclosures and to cover up tracks. She asserts that the two attorneys named in the suit encouraged her to do as she was told. Those individuals, including Douglass S. Davert of Long Beach, filed a lawsuit against Koper while they were representing her, but that case was dismissed last month.


The Davert & Loe attorneys maintain that Koper's allegations are fiction and without merit, and they have vowed to defend themselves. MacLeod says Koper was fired for inside whistleblowing.
