Corrupt Episcopal bishop George Sumner, the subject of a Title IV clergy disciplinary complaint for trying to sandbag a complaint of sexual harassment involving Texarkana rector David Halt, has turned to new tactics. So, Anglican Watch is calling BS on: Corrupt bishop George Sumner. Dirtbag David Halt, who continues to pull down a six-figure income at St. James, even though he Read More
When we look at the death of Grant Solomon, there’s a player whose role is getting far too little attention or scrutiny. That person is Gallatin Mayor Paige Brown, who has steadfastly ignored pleas to help get answers. Brown’s studied efforts to avoid engaging — even after multiple emailed appeals from this publication and others — begs the Read More
Regular readers know that we have been far from impressed by PB Michael Curry. Specifically, his hogwash about “loving, liberating, life-giving” aka L3 has been an abject failure. Why? Because the requisite integrity and accountability simply aren’t there. Now, as Curry transitions from being a lame duck to a one-legged duck, we see another of his canons jump Read More
One of the things we try to do at Anglican Watch, besides hammering on bad guys, bullies, and other low-lifes, is to offer suggestions for positive outcomes. Churches being what they are, our ideas are usually ignored. But we are going to provide some tips for Grace Chapel and Grace Christian Academy, and Rob Rogers. Stop with the condemnation. We Read More
Reprinted with permission, by Ryan Burge. Original here. Ed. We believe Ryan asks the correct question at the end: Will the church view this time as one of creative destruction. or the descent into the abyss? Ryan correctly notes that the church will run out of people well before it runs out of money. Will it have the Read More
In an earlier post, we talked about how the murder of Grant Solomon is inexorably intertwined with allegations of sexual assault involving his sister, Gracie. In all of this, there is one witness who will be a crucial player in any criminal investigation that may occur. That key witness is Patti Renee Tremblay, age 59, of Franklin, TN. Read More
On the heels of yesterday’s post calling for an FBI investigation into the role of Grace Chapel in child sexual abuse and the ongoing dishonesty we see coming from the church and school, we want to follow-up with a brief post directed to the Grace Christian community. Our post is a warning: Grace Chapel welcomes pedophiles and persons Read More
In the Solomon situation, other than Aaron Solomon himself, few organizations are more corrupt and complicit than Grace Chapel, Steve Berger, and Rob Rogers. Today’s post focuses on their roles in Grant’s death and Gracie’s abuse, and flags the school’s director of counseling, Amy Curle, as a liar. From hell. It also raises issues of possible criminal conspiracy Read More
Anglican Watch has filed an internal affairs complaint with the Gallatin police department over its conduct in the Grant Solomon case. A copy of the complaint is posted below. Those wishing to file their own complaint can email in**@ga********.org.
Julia Ayala Harris, President of the House of Deputies, issued the statement below this post earlier today. Anglican Watch deeply regrets her experience. But we also note that Harris is part of the problem. Specifically, we have contacted her previously on issues involving clergy misconduct, only to be ignored. So, she joins the Jewish priest and the Levite in Read More
Richard Rorex Losch, an Episcopal priest canonically resident in the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, has been indicted by a grand jury in Grafton County, New Hampshire, of a Class A Felony Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assault involving a minor under the age of 13. The case is State v. Richard Losch Docket: 215-2023-CR-0609 and has its genesis in conduct dating from Read More
Sources close to the matter have told Anglican Watch that Bill Allport, the troubled rector of St. Paul’s, Englewood, NJ, has been terminated. The church has been trying to get rid of Allport since early 2023. His last day with the parish is, appropriately enough, Halloween. Allport comes with a ton of alleged baggage, all of it profoundly troubling. Issues Read More
There’s an old saying that where you sit depends on where you stand. And while that probably is true for team members at Anglican Watch, we nonetheless feel obligated to ask the question: Why does TEC attract so many batsnot cray clergy? We’re thinking narcissists, sociopaths, abusers, alcoholics, and more. We don’t have answers. But in our work, we’ve come Read More
There is little doubt that the Episcopal Church as we know it is dying and will be gone within 20 years. But how do today’s numbers compare to historical data? The answers may surprise you. For starters, the American colonies were hardly a bastion of Christian faith. Experts agree that no more than 10-20 percent of colonists were Read More

The first is in the amount of $20,000 and is for anyone providing information leading to the arrest and conviction of Grant Solomon’s murderer(s). The second is a major reward, of at least $10,000, for anyone who can identify the three men Aaron Solomon Read More
Did you ever see a situation where you take one look and think, “Wow, that’s a recipe for disaster?” We see a fair number of those on the Anglican Watch beat. But the situation that takes the cake right now is the decision by the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio to leave rector Dan McClain in place despite an Read More
