An Episcopal priest who was relieved of his duties because of alleged misconduct with a female parishioner
has been offered a state government job.
The Rev. Robert Broesler, pastor of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Wilmington, is
scheduled to start working Monday for the Department of Health and Social Services.
Meanwhile, a hearing is scheduled Wednesday in a lawsuit in which Broesler, who
denies any misconduct, claims church officials have wrongfully denied him pay and
benefits and have tried to dissolve his pastoral relationship without following the
required process.
Broesler is seeking a restraining order to prevent church officials from taking
further steps to jeopardize his position as a
tenured pastor pending the outcome of church proceedings, or using his acceptance of the
state job against him.
