Leininger to serve as interim director of anti-gambling coalition
The Rev. John Wolf, retiring director of The Indiana Coalition Against Legalized Gambling, recently announced that the Rev. Harold Leininger, a retired pastor of the South Indiana Conference, will begin April 1 as a one-year interim director of ICALG.
Leininger was chosen by Bishop Michael Coyner to lead the coalition begun ten years ago at the direction of Bishop Woodie W. White, who chose Wolf to lead the new ecumenical coalition at that time.
Leininger, of Brownsburg, retired from active ministry this past year. He had served Calvary United Methodist Church at Brownsburg since 1986. He was ordained an Elder in the North Indiana Conference in 1960 and has served churches in Forth Wayne, Anderson, Decatur, Waynedale, Kokomo and University Heights in Indianapolis before being appointed to Brownsburg.
The Indiana Coalition Against Legalized Gambling is an ecumenical group of mainline and independent Protestant denominations in Indiana which have actively fought attempts by the state to first introduce legalized gambling and now to check the expansion of legalized gambling in Indiana.
As interim director, Leininger hopes to strengthen the coalition by expanding its activity, funding and influence in its resistance to a strong gambling lobby with state government.
