Grace Episcopal Alexandria
The national church recently reported the results of the 2019 annual parochial report. The results are not good for Grace Episcopal Alexandria, the clergy perjury parish.
For 2019, Grace reported pledge and plate income of $816,078, a 12.01 percent decrease from the 2015 budget of $927,500. When adjusted for inflation, this represents a decline during that time of $201,038, or a 21.68 percent decrease.
On a more positive note, membership continued its upward trend, reaching 1,008. This likely is due in large part to the nominal requirements for membership in the denomination, which require only that persons be “known to the treasurer” and have attended divine worship at least times during the year, unless “for good cause prevented.”
Average Sunday Attendance (ASA), a key barometer of congregational vitality, rebounded slightly, increasing by approximately 20 persons to 275, but failed to reach numbers prior to perjuring priest Bob Malm’s decision to try to force me and Mike out of the church and his effort to drag a dying woman, my mother, into court.
Of course, these figures reflect only a three-month period (October-December) following perjuring priest Bob Malm’s retirement. Churches typically experience decline during an interim, and the combination of an interim and the advent of the pandemic suggests that 2020 data will be nothing short of disastrous. This will be particularly that case with loose plate offerings, which surge during Christmas and Easter.
Clearly, perjuring priest Bob Malm left behind a church that now faces serious threats to its very survival.
