Don't lie l!!! You know you would be jumping in the car to pick up the check any of us would.It does not mean he won't go to jail though.Embezzlement is punishable by law.I just saw a family of three including the old sick mama in a wheel chair be carted off to state prison.She even took her oxygen tank with her.
The law is the law.Mercy is mercy.None of us deserve it but Jesus gave it to us.
The bible says mercy rejoiceth against judgement.

I don't see a need for him to be punished. I see a need for him to repay his dept to the church and to never be a pastor again in the UPC. He is not cut out for it. Let him preach...evangelize...teach...witness...pray for souls....but not pastor
