Father Allen Sharpe founder of St Patricks trust/night shelter resigned due to accusations of inapropiate friendship allegations,I have known Father Allen for a number of years and those of you who know me will have heard me speak warmly of him and Irene parry,Between these two people they have helped me recover from a nervous breakdown and help me feel worthwhile again.Father Allen has never done anything but good for the local community and the homeless,he has helped numerous drug addicts and alchoholics in the past;Even when the council stopped the funding it was Father Allen who refused to give up he did what any good Christian would do in those circumstances he fought for good to come good.I for one would like to thank Father Allen and his son Steven(ok Steven can be a bit pompous sometimes but his heart is in the right place )for the hard work and dedication that they both have put into St Patricks |

Father Allen is on the "Lorica" website also there is the result of the investigation which prooves Father Allen was innocent of any charges relating to him allegedly misapropiating funds, He still does plenty for the homeless but in his own right WITH HIS OWN MONEY; he did not run away to france in guilt he went to his sons house in France to recover from the scurrilous bbc claims !! I would trust Father Allen with my life |

I Believe Father Allen is at his home, the Church does know exactly where he is, and guess what the BBc have apparently admitted it was an edited report |

Do the Church authorities know the whereabouts of this man and his daughter? It has all gone very quiet. |

Obviously I am biased ,but I know Father Allen a lot better than most;FACT the congregation was very low when he took over the church-He built the congregation up (OK it seems to have dropped again but is that the vicars fault just look at ST Peters among other churches in the uk )there is NO proof whatsoever that he pocketed any donations fact. |

Erm, the BBC didn't have an inapproriate relationship with someone in their care. Nor did they fail to bank payments to a charity in the charities accounts. Nor did they give cash to an addict on a daily basis. They didn't invite one of several hundred people who use the night shelter to move in with the vicar, and they didn't cause the congregation to take flight either. They didn't resign from the Charity, and then resign from the Church as well. And they certainly didn't take off to France, having paid endless family members handsome salaries with public monies intended to help the homeless.
Blame the BBC all you like I guess. But we all know where the blame lays.
Del, I know you say they helped you, but believe me for everyone they helped they didn't half do some calous damage to others. Thank your lucky stars you weren't one of them. There is a lot more behind this story going back 20 years or more than what existed in this programme alone. This programme was the tip of an iceburg and was enough to bring the whole sham for that dodgy vicar to an end. Now that's what I call public service broadcasting, believe me. |

bOLLOCKS LT YOU ONLY SEE THE WORST IN PEOPLE,you want it to be true but you have obviously not looked at the programme properly,if you had you would have seen the poor editing and the obvious lie ie the lad was supposedly out of court for 20 mins he left court in broad daylight and when he was supposedly only 20 mins later outside the vicarage it was pitch black,so stop being a twat and actually watch the ruddy programme and then tell me it was not done for sensationalism |

the documentary was supposed to have been about the need for nightshelters(at least that was the pretext)the journo who did this has a reputation for distorting the truth(please try the media complaints website for further info)I have seen the video of the programme loads of times and there is so many inconsistencies it is unbelievable ,How can a so called taxpayer funded organisation allow itself to show such a misleading article like this ;If Father Allen was her" Maj" then the establishment would have been out in force but Father Allen is just a lowly vicar(cannon) |

Was it Father Alan in specific the BBC was investigating or was it the night shelter business as a whole? |

Who said he fleed? Maybe he is just trying to get away from malicious rumour mongers and libellous stories.
Maybe we should wait and see what the FACTS are instead of trying to force our own interpretation based on some half cocked preconception. |

Please remember that "no one is above scrutiny" "LT", Father Allen left for the sake of the charity not due to guilt.FACT it was only a couple of months ago you were asking me to put Ed up Fact you then started to Put him down with rather harsh words FACT now you change hot and cold at the drop of a hat or more precise at any bulshit report that takes your fancy,Due to your rather silly attitude I think I will vote Labour this time round or more to the point Mr Brown |

There is no proof at present the money was charity money,yes there is proof that Father Allen gave money to a known drug addict;but did Father Allen know that the money would be used to buy drugs? now that would be difficult to prove either way!! I have a friend who is alchoholic (he is trying desperately to give up)we have worked a way to help him by my looking after his money and giving him "X" amount per day;If I dont see him for two days I go and check he is ok but I do not give him two days money ,I put it in His new bank account(Ikeep the card and check book)now this chap has only been out of the Army for 18 months so he is not on benefits or anything like that he gets a "MOD" pension.Could Father Allen perhaps been doing something similar for the lad concerned?
as have Said "LT" stop judging without the facts,It is innocent until proven guilty in this country,Or do you believe otherwise? |

Really? All I remember is him taking money from a cash point and giving it to the unfortunate drug dependent individual. I do not remember seeing which account it was taken from. Maybe you know differently, in which case you are of course perfectly welcome to prove otherwise but until you can, I suggest that claiming he gave the gent monies from the charitiy is at best malicious rumour mongering and at worse libel. |
