Liam Goligher has pleaded guilty to several charges including lying and clergy abuse in proceedings brought by the Philadelphia Presbytery in the US. He resigned as senior minister at Tenth Presbyterian Church in December 2023 after a public citation for sexual activity in a public park in 2014.
In May 2024 the Presbytery found Dr Goligher ‘contumacious’ (i.e. refusing to comply fully with the Presbytery trial and hindering the process). He was suspended from the Lord’s Supper and from eldership.
