VerifiedDebra Thal (username) :
Did he have permission from either of you to tell this story?
Debra Thal (username) :
Is he ordained with the church?
Customer:
no, the pastor did not have our permission.
Customer:
yes, he is ordained with the church.
Debra Thal (username) :
He owed you a strict duty of confidentiality which was been breached in a significant way.
And you have suffered damages to your reputation.
For this reason it would make sense to consult with a local lawyer.
What you can do to find a lawyer is one of the following things.
You can contact the Law Society and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be free.
The number is:
1-800-268-8326 or(NNN) NNN-NNNN(within the GTA)
Or you can check on a site called lexpert. This is a legal directory of leading lawyers and law firms throughout Canada and is well-respected by the legal community.
Here's the link to their website:

Aside from considering a law suit it would be a good idea to talk to the lawyer about filing a complaint against this pastor with his governing body.
Customer:
do you know what body governs pastors and ministers?
Customer:
are their licenses given by the government?
Customer:
should I file a complaint to the church first? I mean to the board of deacons?
Debra Thal (username) :
You should see a lawyer first if you are considering suing.
After that you could file a complaint with the Board of Deacons but you should hold off for now.
Customer:
I don't know if I want to sue, I just want an apology from him and a statement to the church members.
Debra Thal (username) :
Then have a lawyer make the demand and it's likely you will get it.
