	Wheaton Congregation to Decide Pastor's Fate after Improper-Touching Allegations By Russell Working Chicago Tribune July 18, 2008 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-wheaton-pastor-spat-web-19jul19,0,6881574.story A Wheaton congregation will meet Saturday to consider whether to dismiss its pastor for improper conduct after several women accused him of improperly touching them in a gym. Rev. Andre Allen, pastor of the 101-year-old Second Baptist Church of Wheaton, faces a backlash after members recently learned he was charged with battery and disorderly conduct at a Schaumburg gym in November. Allen, 54, a longtime leader on civil rights issues in DuPage County, was accused of disorderly conduct and battery after he allegedly touched three women in a provocative manner, according to Schaumburg police. Allen said that, under a plea bargain, he pleaded guilty only to falsely presenting himself as an employee of the gym.
