The Right Reverend James Njegovan is a bishop of the Anglican Church of Canada and the current Bishop of Brandon.
Career
Njegovan was educated at St. John's College, University of Manitoba and ordained in 1979. He served parishes in Winnipeg before becoming Dean of Brandon Cathedral in 1992, a post he held until his elevation to the episcopate. He was consecrated bishop in Brandon Cathedral on February 2, 2002.
Controversy
In 2005 Bishop Njegovan criticized the independent newspaper The Anglican Planet as "sowing the seeds of distrust and disdain within the Church" and said that he did not "wish to see it distributed in, or to, our parishes."
In April 2013, Bishop Njegovan's son Archdeacon Noah Njegovan, 30, was criminally charged with fraud over $5000. Having been appointed by his father to this senior post in the Diocese of Brandon, Noah Njegovan is alleged to have embezzled nearly $200,000 from the dicoese.
