It's Advent, so in true surly Anglican Watch fashion, we're calling BS on the Washington National Cathedral for its policy on "free" worship services this Christmastide.
Some priests are, simply put, in the wrong line of work. We use the word "work" very deliberately, as being a priest should be a calling, not a job.
To borrow a line from Caddyshack, "the worlds needs ditchdiggers too."
Find out why we believe Bill Applort, former rector of St. Paul's Englewood, is in the wrng job.
Some time ago, Anglican Watch covered the role of Grace Christian Academy (GCA)/Grace Chapel employee Patti Tremblay in the events prior to Grant Solomon's death.
Today's episode examines Tremblay's strange conduct in the days following Grant's death and explores the possible reasons for her conduct.
Join us!
This is a previously unheard recording that reveals Grace Christian Academy is unwilling to prevent Aaron Solomon, a substantiated child sexual abuser, from spending time on campus. That, despite the fact the school routinely bars alumni in order to "protect the purity of campus culture."
Imagine that you send your child to a private school.
Now, imagine that another family at the school loses their son in tragic circumstances, and you have items belonging to him.
How do you handle the situation?
Listen to this episode of Anglican Watch, and find out how Grace Christian Academy responded.
Want to hear Grace Christian Academy's Amy Curle talk about how to cover up Gracie Solomon's sexual abuse? In this recording, we can hear the exact conversation.
We have not in any way changed the recording. An AI-generated transcript is included with the post.
Sometimes, it's best not to sue people for defamation, even if you contend that what they say isn't true. If nothing else, the issues are then forever documented in the public record--which is how Anglican Watch learned of allegations that Aaron, AKA Weasel Lips, may be engaged in human trafficking.
Even worse for Aaron, the more we dig, the more convinced we are that he was and is in human trafficking. This corruption, we believe, and Aaron's ability to name names is why Aaron thus far has been shielded from meaningful criminal investigation related to the death of Grant Solomon.
We also believe that several persons in Aaron's immediate circle were involved in Grant's death.
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 doesn't do jack-diddly and engages in retaliation against persons opposed to the sexual harassment of women.
Diocesan Chancellor Cory Floyd, who ran roughshod on Title IV by virtue of his multiple ethical conflicts and ignoring the express provisions of Title IV.
In other words, we know a cover-up when we see it, and we're not falling for it.
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.
One of the issues Anglican Watch has been exploring in the Aaron Solomon cases is allegations of corruption within the Davidson County, TN, domestic relations court. I am deeply concerned about these issues.
As I have explored the case, I've talked with many women who have said they were steamrollered in court, especially in front of the late Judge Phillip Smith. I believe this happened in the Solomon divorce case.
While Anglican Watch differs from colleague David Virtue’s views on same-sex marriage, we heartily agree with other aspect of his assessment of Bishop Curry’s tenure. Too little substance, too much paper, zero accountability.
We also recall a time when all were welcome in the church, not only those who think like us.

There’s a big difference between confidentiality and secrecy. Confidentiality is, in appropriate cases, essential for a healthy church. Secrecy, however, is almost always a sign of deep trouble.
Unfortunately, the current discussion at the House of Bishops about Title IV, which is happening largely behind closed doors, is more secret than confidential. As such, it’s unlikely to produce positive change.
Earlier today, the House of Bishops discussed some of the details and timeline behind the decision to dismiss the Julia Ayala Harris Title IV case. And the details are deeply concerning.
The Episcopal House of Bishops met today for the start of a four-day meeting, "The Vocation of the Bishop Now." Topics emphasize church decline and Title IV, the clergy disciplinary canon.
The conference is being held via Zoom to allow Presiding Bishop Michael Curry to avoid travel pending an upcoming operation.
With much of today's discussion centered on Title IV, Anglican Watch fears that the bishops will continue a tradition they excel in: missing the forest for the trees.
The recent news that alleged child rapist and Episcopal priest Richard Losch has been indicted for child sexual abuse raises a related issue. Specifically, numerous leaders in the Episcopal Church knew of the allegations yet did nothing.
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.
Anglican Watch has received several questions about our decision to stop covering the allegations of abuse in the Bishop Singh case.
Here's why we made that decision.
For many years, the Episcopal Church has prided itself on its policies to prevent child sexual abuse. But the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement is woefully deficient when it comes to the prevention of child abuse.
Explore with us this painful shortcoming on the part of the Episcopal Church.
Anglican Watch (AW) has been reviewing data relating to parochial report results, and we are increasingly confident that we have a good feel for the reports coming within the next few weeks. So, we will venture out on a limb and share our predictions for the data and related issues, including the burgeoning population of zombie churches. (More on the rise of zombie churches in a moment.)
