Pastor resigns after admitting plagiarism: Sermons found on the Internet

A pastor in Keene, New Hampshire, has resigned after preaching sermons found on the Internet and consequently confessing to plagiarism. Robert C. Hamm stepped down in April from his post as senior pastor of Keene United Church of Christ.

According to church council president Carl A. H. Allen Jr., another minister on staff had noticed last winter that Hamm was claiming credit for sermons he hadn’t written. When confronted by church leaders, Hamm promptly admitted to wrongdoing, Allen said.
