Faith therapy or illegal cult in Kane County case
In a Wauconda church, minister Philip Livingston allegedly led naked sessions called prayer meetings for consenting adults and possibly a 13-year-old, triggering criminal probes in Kane County and civil suits in two others while prompting debates on cult status. Livingston’s past includes bankruptcy, unpaid debts, and multiple lawsuits as his ministry evolved from Willow Creek roots.

Dale and Shannon Hickman of the Followers of Christ Church were convicted in Clackamas County on second-degree manslaughter charges for praying and anointing an ill infant instead of seeking medical care. The boy, David, born two months premature, died within hours from a bacterial infection and underdeveloped lungs. Prosecutors note prior related convictions within the church. The couple face a potential sentence capped by a religious exemption, with sentencing scheduled Oct. 31.
