All Souls DC — Reconciliation Done Right

If we’re honest with ourselves, conflict is inevitable in all areas of life, and church is no exception. But my experience is that churches are particularly bad at conflict. Perhaps it’s because we hope that church will somehow be immune from strife. Or maybe we feel that we need to be all “churchy nice.” Possibly it’s that churchgoers tend to be conflict avoidant. Whatever the reason, churches…

Email from Lisa Doelp Puts the Lie to Bob Malm’s Claims

Yesterday, I was digging through a small mountain of documents and came across something cool — an email from former friend Lisa Doelp. The email is noteworthy because perjuring priest Bob Malm consistently has tried to avoid admitting that he instructed church office staff to exclude Mike and me from the life of the parish. But Lisa ran headlong into the issue when Mike and I donated flowers in…

Busted Again! Perjuring Priest Bob Malm Admits He Lied to Courts

Check it out. In this email, recently obtained via litigation, perjuring priest Bob Malm admits he’s not worried about the prospect of violence. Yet he repeatedly has lied in court, saying the exact opposite. Of course, it’s not his first statement against interest. In fact, he told Shannon Johnston in an email that his wife and one of his daughters took the whole thing far too seriously. What’s…

Issues With Fr. David Nix Illustrate the Perils of Equivocation

Remember Pontus Pilate? He’s often perceived as the consummate bad guy. But a close reading of scripture makes clear that, if not a good guy, he came very close to being a good guy, failing only due to his equivocation. And so it is with Fr. David Nix, the reactionary conservative priest in Colorado, whose YouTube and other social media posts draw a large number of like-minded Catholics. Long a…

The More Things Change, The More They Stay the Same

Today was a momentous day for Grace Episcopal Alexandria, the clergy perjury parish. Not only was it Anne Turner’s first day at work, but we are hours away from saying good bye and good riddance to narcissistic scumbag Donald Trump. Yet even with all the change in the air, things remain stuck exactly where there were two years ago: The parish and persons related to it face myriad lawsuits. The…

Fr. Mark White Interview — Relevant to Grace Episcopal Alexandria

On my flagship, Anglican Watch, I recently published an interview with Fr. Mark White, the Catholic priest suspended for speaking out about sexual abuse in the church. While the entire interview is worth reading, there are several questions and answers that are particularly relevant to the situation at Grace Episcopal Alexandria, perjuring priest Bob Malm’s abuse of power, and the role of Susan…

Anglican Watch Exclusive: Interview With Fr. Mark White

Ed.: We recently had the opportunity to interview Fr. Mark White, the Catholic priest who has been suspended from parish ministry due to his criticism of the church’s handling of sexual abuse. Here are our questions and his responses. We believe his thoughts are important to all who are concerned about abuse in the church, both sexual and non-sexual and hope that persons of conscience can provide…

Can the Episcopal Church Help Heal the Nation?

Okay, I admit. It sounds improbable. But hear me out. For several years, the Episcopal church has talked about the need for racial reconciliation. And even as it does so, we now have some saying that there needs to be reconciliation following the coup attempt at the US Capitol. But both the Episcopal church and those who urge political reconciliation miss the importance of accountability and…

Toxic Masculinity and Church

The recent coup attempt at the US Capitol raises myriad questions. Among them is the role of toxic masculinity and its implications for society, as well as its implications for the Episcopal Church. A key example is the now infamous Jacob Anthony Chansley, aka Jake Angeli, aka the Q Shaman. An avowed practitioner of shamanism and self-proclaimed clergy, Angeli, as he likes to be called, allegedly…

It’s been a busy week—who knew retirement could be so busy? In retrospect, I should not have given Mom so much grief about having nothing to do in her old age. 😉 By way of update, I should have my appeal against the church done by next Friday, seeking permission to move ahead with my defamation suit against the church. Meanwhile, things are a little behind schedule with my motion for sanctions…

BREAKING NEWS: Additional Complaint Filed Against Jeffery Chiow

Earlier today, I filed an additional attorney disciplinary complaint against Jeffery Chiow, who represented Grace Episcopal Alexandria and perjuring priest Bob Malm is the original litigation. In my complaint, I allege that Chiow, whose moniker is “Sugarland,” due to his invention, in his legal pleadings. of this mythical town in Texas (not to be confused with Sugar Land, which really does exist)…

See for Yourself: Online Petition Seen Almost 350,000 Times

Check it out. Thanks to the generosity of people who have supported my online petition, both by signing it and by donating to cover paid advertising, it has now been seen almost 350,000 times on change.org. Those are heady numbers, especially when you consider that most change.org users are young people. Additionally, the Episcopal Church has less than 2 million members. So, the bad news of…

Little-Noticed Pandemic Milestone Nears, Creates Growing Threat to In-Person Worship

Few out there have noticed, but a review of World Health Organization (WHO) data makes clear that we are nearing a grim milestone in the pandemic, one that should information churches and church schools that are conducting any in-person activities. Specifically, we are teetering very close to our first 100,000 new cases day, with January 11 reflecting 99.100 new cases. The data in question can be…

Just When We Thought it Was Safe: Shannon Johnston Resurfaces

Did you ever have a moment of profound cognitive dissonance? Where you look around and just go, “Holy Toledo—what the heck just happened?” That was this author’s reaction when he recently learned that Shannon Johnston, former bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia (DioVA), has been named as a fellow to George Mason University’s (GMU’s) Center for World Religions, Diplomacy, and Conflict…

See for Yourself: Perjuring Priest Bob Malm and Sugarland Chiow Refused Efforts to Resolve Conflict

Check it out. Even as recently uncovered emails from perjuring priest Bob Malm talk about how I should, “move on,” perjuring priest Bob Malm and Sugarland Chiow did not take me up on my 2016 offer to do exactly that. Additionally, they denied my request for confidentiality. So, now they have exactly what they asked for: publicity and multiple lawsuits. They are hardly in a position to complain…
