The header photo is a screen cap of religious-themed pornography by Saint Thomas Choir School resident Erich Erving. Full frontal nudity in the image has been redacted. Other key points: We believe the church employee referenced in these messages is Bill Davis but have been unable to independently confirm this. In the one screen cap,…
An Episcopal parish in the Diocese of San Diego has filed a Title IV appeal following the dismissal of their complaint against Bishop Susan Brown Snook (“Bishop Susan”) by the national church. Anglican Watch remains deeply concerned about the case, including Bishop Susan’s failure to resolve the parish’s underlying concerns of her own accord. Moreover, we…
Recently, we covered the Title IV clergy disciplinary complaint filed against San Diego Bishop Susan Brown Snook. Today’s post is an update on that situation. Sources close to the matter tell Anglican Watch that the intake officer for bishops, the Rev. Barb Kempf, dismissed the matter. An appeal appears imminent. But there’s more to the story. TEC…
Sources close to the matter have told Anglican Watch that the earlier information we received, which is that the Diocese of Massachusetts paid outgoing Church of the Advent rector Douglas Anderson’s legal bill in his Title IV clergy disciplinary case, is incorrect. We are told that the church’s senior warden told the congregation that the church, not…
We’ve previously covered the appalling situation at St. James Texarkana, marked by an feckless, arrogant, and interpersonally challenged rector, David Halt; allegations of retaliation by Halt and bishop George Sumner against former parochial vicar Richard Daly over the latter’s opposition to the sexual harassment of a woman connected with the church; questionable information involving Halt’s…
Todd Ousley, bishop for pastoral development, continues to ignore the requirements of church disciplinary canons and turn a blind eye to illegal conduct by bishop George Sumner
We’re fed up with the #churchtoo corruption in Michael Curry’s office, with Dallas Bishop George Sumner, and the rector of St. James in Texarkana, David J.A. Halt.
Bishop George Sumner preached in Texarkana today. In his sermon, he appears to be teeing up for coming legal and clergy disciplinary issues involving #churchtoo and a young woman connected to St. James. But he takes no accountability and offers no confession, even as sources tell us he and rector Holt continue to falsely tell parishioners they did not fire Rich Daly in retaliation for opposing sexual harassment of women in the parish. And for the record, there is more than one woman who has been harassed.
Note from editor: On January 9, 2022, we contacted both the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and St. Luke’s, the church with which McWhorter currently is associated, asking for comment. So far, we have received no response. Let us hope that all involved, including the Episcopal diocese of Virginia (DioVA), act with integrity and transparency in this…
