Since 1991, leaders of the Harrisburg-based Lower Susquehanna Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America had assumed that millions in endowment money was going to missionary work overseas and to pastors in need of financial assistance.
Barry R. Herr, the synod's treasurer for 28 years, was responsible for making sure it did.Instead, police and church officials say, Herr funneled more than $1 million into a bogus bank account, transferred it to his personal account and used it to buy classic cars.
