Awhile ago The Mad Priest linked up to the story of Karolyn Caskey who was arrested at the church she attended for 48 years. Read up on Pastor Nasty’s initial actions here.

Jeri at Blog on the Lilypad knows some of the players and has been following the updates about this bizarre young minister Jason Burrick and his shameful behavior toward his congregation.
All charges against the 71 year old were dropped, the county prosecutor said no evidence existed she had ever been voted out of Allen Baptist Church in Hillsdale Michigan.

  • December 2006: Karolyn Caskey receives a registered letter from Allen Baptist Church informing her to attend disciplinary hearing. She asks her attorney to respond since she’s wintering in Florida.
  • June 17 2007: Caskey is handcuffed and taken into custody by Hillsdale County sheriff’s deputies for trespassing after she refuses to leave a Sunday service; county Prosecutor Neal Brady declines to charge the 71-year-old grandmother.
  • July 15 2007: Caskey is arrested a second time by state police troopers after she refuses to leave the church sanctuary when asked to do so; county prosecutors dismisses the case a second time.
  • July 29, 2007 Casky goes back to church, this time with supporters. No police show up but Pastor Burrick isn’t shy about berating Caskey et al from the pulpit. They stick it out.
  • I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us. So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church. 3 John 1: 9-10
