A Couple Weeks Late,

Trinity Pro-Cathedral has quietly replaced The Rt Rev Owen Rhys Williams on its web page. All news has also been purged. The Rev Andrew S Faust appears as the presumptive adult in charge. And that's it -- do you get the impression that Trinity wasn't sorry to see Williams go? As opposed to the fanfare on the St Mary of the Angels web page, this was a remarkably quiet departure.

Faust appears to be retired from Episcopal rectorships at parishes in Florida and Texas. Public records give his age at 67 and his residence in Saco, ME, which leads me to believe he's a supply priest here, at least for the time being. An easy couple hundred a week, don't ask too many questions.

Still, I keep wondering, given typical memberships, how any ACA parish can even heat the place in the winter and keep the lights on, much less pay anyone. Fr Faust, you're best off collecting your supply honorarium while you can and moving on.
