One of the truly troubling things about Bob Malm’s antics is his alleged claim, reported to me by a reliable source, that teachers at Grace School fear that I will come in and “shoot up the school.” Besides being utterly ludicrous — I am fully polygraphed, among other things, and have a spotless background — I seriously doubt… Read More »
Never one to shy away from making public his own ill-advised ideas, Bob Malm recently announced his efforts to get a protective order against me at the January 16, 2018 Grace Church vestry meeting, despite admitting in open court that I have not threatened him or anyone else at Grace Church. Meanwhile, his wife Leslie continues to falsely… Read More »
This applies for spiritual and emotional abuse as well: https://www.episcopalcafe.com/active-atonement/
Today, I’m attending a course on clergy boundaries. It’s a great course, as it goes well beyond the standard Episcopal emphasis on sexual misconduct prevention and abuse of the elderly. It also illustrates the major issues Bob Malm has when it comes to pastoral boundaries. Note that I am not suggesting that Bob has engaged in sexual misconduct.… Read More »
In one of her posts over at Fairfax Underground, Leslie Malm claims that, on various blogs, I provide differing ages for my Mom, and that somehow proves that I am the author of Mom’s blogs. True to form, though, Leslie’s statement simply isn’t accurate, and never was. The only place I reference anyone’s age on a blog is… Read More »
As I was protesting this morning, a distinguished looking middle-aged gentleman in a grey Toyota SUV parked nearby. He crossed several intersections on foot to come over and ask me about my situation; I replied in very generic terms. His response was that his daughter had attended Grace Episcopal School for several years, and that he was not… Read More »
My plans for Holy Week include a road trip out to see Mom, replete with a gourmet ham, roast asparagus, and a coconut cake made by my wonderful friend Mary Lee. As a result, protests will be a little lighter than usual. But to make up for it, we’ll have an ad blitz going across the Northern Virginia… Read More »
As Bob continues to falsely claim that Mom’s blog is mine and otherwise do his best to trash his own reputation and that of Grace Church, here is what Mom recently wrote about the matter. Note that I have redacted a few words in the seventh line, as I do not wish to lower myself to Bob’s level… Read More »
Just saw a recent post from Leslie Malm over at Fairfax Underground. In it, she makes two false assertions of fact: 1) That I claim Mom is writing both blogs. The reality is that she only writes hers. I take full responsibility for my blog and do so proudly. 2) That I told SGT Salas of the Alexandria… Read More »
One of Bob Malm’s favorite phrases is, “Let go and let God,” a hackneyed and trite bit of jingoism. Leaving aside the inherently suspect nature of pseudo spiritual babble of this sort, it is ironic to see how little credence Bob places in his own advice. In the instant case, few would contend with a straight face that… Read More »
As Bob Malm goes around claiming that Mom’s blog is mine, that begs an obvious question: Having received email from Mom before, and knowing that she previously filed a complaint against him with the Diocese of Virginia relating to his misconduct, why would Bob not deal directly with her? Indeed, if he truly believes Mom’s blog is threatening… Read More »
As many of you know, I transferred out of Grace Church in August 2017. As a result, Bob Malm is not my priest. Further, none of the legal privileges that clergy hold apropos members applies after that date. What does that mean in practice? Several things. First, it means that internal church communications between, for example, Bob and… Read More »
