On Good Friday, I'm Told,

Allan Trimpi, the Senior Warden of the St Mary's elected vestry, stopped by the parish just before 7:00 PM to see what was going on. (Attendance there was about a third of the attendance with Fr Kelley at a private residence.) When he was seen at the stairs, two elderly members of the unelected vestry (i.e., those designated by the ACA) rushed out of the parish office. One of them, a septuagenarian, rushed at Allan, wagging his finger, saying, "One foot on the property and we can have you arrested! The papers are already drawn up!"

(What the septuagenarian apparently meant was that someone may have drafted a motion for a restraining order, but it had not yet been filed, and no notice had been served on Dr Trimpi. I assume the usual call to LAPD would have been the usual waste of the LAPD's time.) The septuagenarian continued pacing after Allan, who was backing up, in front of witnesses. Allan warned him that what he was doing fell under the definition of assault, though I wonder how the LAPD or the DA would actually handle an old guy making threats.

He then called after Allan, "Don't forget -- As you reap, you will sow!" [sic]

I'm not sure how much commentary is needed here. What is the reason for the out-of-control anger and bitterness among this tiny group, more than a year after they seized the parish? Where are the adults in the ACA, which seems to be tacitly allowing this sort of conduct, if it isn't encouraging it outright?
