Answering critics' calls to let new leaders shepherd northwest
suburban Willow Creek Community Church, lead pastor Heather Larson and
other church elders resigned Wednesday and apologized for mishandling
allegations that church founder Bill Hybels engaged in improper behavior
with women.
Larson and the elders announced their
resignations Wednesday evening during a packed congregational meeting at
the church’s South Barrington
campus. Audience members applauded the elders’ decision. But some
people audibly groaned over Larson’s announcement, and one even
approached the stage in protest.
