The pastor of a fundamentalist church that rejects modern medicine will face trial for failing to notify authorities as his 2-year-old granddaughter died of pneumonia, a Pennsylvania judge ruled Wednesday.
Reversing an earlier decision to throw out the charge against Rowland Foster for failing to properly report suspected child abuse, a third-degree felony, Magisterial District Judge Ann Young ruled that there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial, according to court records.
Foster, 72, is the pastor of Faith Tabernacle Congregation in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, a fundamentalist Christian sect where members use faith healing and reject doctors and medicine.
