Anglican Bishop Jo Seoka
THE HIGH-level task team, comprising senior bishops and assembled by the highest body of the Anglican Church, has dismissed as unfounded allegations of the misuse of church funds for personal housing by Pretoria Diocese’s Bishop Jo Seoka.
Convened in June and set up in terms of Canon 21.3, which gave the synod of senior bishops of the Southern African region the power to investigate problems in a diocese, the task team was tasked with, among other issues, probing the allegations of financial mismanagement.
Seoka had been accused by the parish council of using R500 000 of the diocese’s money to pay for a bond on his home.
