The CIP originally investigated the claims against Herron in 2019. One of the women, Kara Million, has said at least 10 people have accused Herron of abusing them. TRR previously reported that two women accuse Herron of grooming church members and students of nearby Indiana University.
The other presbyteries have formally asked the PCA’s high court, the Standing Judicial Commission, to take jurisdiction away from the pastor’s presbytery.ĭan Herron, the former pastor of Hope Presbyterian Church in Bloomington, Indiana, will now face an ecclesiastical trial before the high court, according to a June 3 letter authored by the Central Indiana Presbytery (CIP) and obtained by The Roys Report (TRR). The move comes after an unprecedented number of other PCA presbyteries claimed the pastor’s presbytery botched the matter. The case surrounds a former Indiana pastor accused of sexually harassing multiple women. The Presbyterian Church in America’s (PCA) highest ecclesiastical court is taking over a case allegedly mishandled by an Indiana presbytery, a letter from the presbytery shows.
