Statement From Philadelphia Presbytery on Liam Goligher

Liam Goligher was immediately suspended from the sacraments and his office for his contumacy

Written by ByFaith Staff | Thursday, June 6, 2024

Because of TE Goligher’s refusal to comply with the lawful proceedings of this court in defiance of BCO 32-6b, these proceedings are hindered and continuing without due repentance from TE Goligher for his contumacy poses a serious risk to the wellbeing of witnesses and victims named in these proceedings. In accord with BCO 34-4, TE Liam Goligher is: Immediately suspended from the sacraments and his office for his contumacy.

 

Philadelphia Presbytery has provided byFaith with a statement that contains an update on the judicial process currently underway involving Teaching Elder Liam . This case originates from accusations that surfaced regarding Goligher as previously reported. The presbytery’s statement is as follows:

In the name of the Presbyterian Church in America, the ad hoc Judicial Commission of the Philadelphia Presbytery in regards to TE Liam Goligher finds him contumacious….

The accused objectively hindered the proceedings of this court, and acted against the peace, unity and purity of the Church, and the honor and majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ, as the King and Head thereof.

Because of TE Goligher’s refusal to comply with the lawful proceedings of this court in defiance of BCO 32-6b, these proceedings are hindered and continuing without due repentance from TE Goligher for his contumacy poses a serious risk to the wellbeing of witnesses and victims named in these proceedings.

In accord with BCO 34-4, TE Liam Goligher is:

“Immediately suspended from the sacraments and his office for his contumacy.”
