Glenview Church Holds Emergency Meeting Over Pastor Allegations

Father James Dokos has been accused of stealing from a church in Milwaukee where he was once a pastor.


Father James Dokos, a priest at the Saints Peter & Paul Orthodox Church in Glenview, is under investigation by the Milwaukee County district attorney's office for a possible theft from the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The parish council at Saints Peter and Paul Church had an emergency meeting Thursday night to discuss the allegations against Dokos, but chose to keep him at the church for now, the Chicago Tribune reported.

"We're not going to rush to judgment," Parish council president James Gottreich told the Chicago Tribune. "But we're not sitting here quietly."
