SNOW CAMP, N.C. ?? One Alamance County man is blaming his church for the end of his marriage. Warren Pegram says the Quaker church he and his wife were members of the Cane Creek Meeting of the Society of Friends.?
?30 years, we got married in 1982, December 24 it was a Christmas present,? says Warren Pegram, husband suing church. Pegram says the church plotted against him and members helped his wife actually move out.
?I think the church had a great deal to do with it. I won?t say they?re 100% responsible but they certainly made it happen. I don?t think she could?ve moved out if the church didn?t help her. They provided all the people to move the stuff,? explains Pegram.
Pegram says his wife was responsible for 60% of the household bills. Since she moved out in February he?s struggled financially. ?They conspired with my wife to abandoned me because they wanted to punish me because I did not want to associate with the relationship with the pastor,? explains Pegram.?
Pegram says the lawsuit isn?t about affection it?s about what he calls financial assault. ?I sued them for $180,000 and $10 million in punitive damages because churches should just not do that,? says Pegram.
He isn?t getting an attorney because he understands it?s a case not heard too often. ?You have to understand suing a church is not a feather in the cap of any attorney,? says Pegram.
He?s saying his prayers and is confident he will win his case.
Fox 8 tried to talk to the pastor of the church, Mark Tope. He told us over the phone he?s been the pastor for nine years but other than that he had not comment.
The next hearing for this case is scheduled for next week.
