The Philadelphia Presbytery has deposed Tenth Presbyterian Church Senior Pastor Liam Goligher from ministry and indefinitely suspended him from the Lord’s Supper following his guilty plea to multiple charges, including adult clergy sexual abuse.
In a statement released after its Jan. 18 meeting, the presbytery announced the disciplinary actions it enacted followed judicial proceedings initiated in March 2024 after an investigation into Goligher’s conduct.
“In the case of the Presbyterian Church in America v Liam Goligher, Liam Goligher pleaded guilty to the charges of Lying, Conduct Unbecoming of a Pastor and Elder, Harsh and Uncharitable Treatment of Colleagues and Subordinates and Spiritual Abuse and Adult Clergy Sexual Abuse.
