Again, Where's The Money?

A question that's come up after the hearing Friday is where the money is coming from for the Bush group to pay two sets of attorneys -- or whether they're being paid at all. It does appear that the Bush group emptied all the bank accounts before they were evicted, but since they'd lost the rent from the commercial space months before that (and utilities were in arrears when the vestry moved back in), it's hard to imagine that this would be enough to keep things going.

My wife thinks Lancaster has been working for IOUs for some time. I've always suspected that the Lancaster & Anastasia LLP firm's address at the prestigious California Plaza, 350 S Grand Ave #2360, Los Angeles, CA 90071, is a mail drop. Dr Trimpi, Fr Kelley's senior warden, told me last Friday that he once went to the California Plaza and asked building security if Lancaster & Anastasia LLP was a tenant. Security told him they were not but suggested he go to the loading dock and ask there.

Dr Trimpi said that as a New Jersey boy, he would never go to a loading dock to ask about someone named Anastasia. The last other news of any sort for Lancaster & Anastasia LLP contimnues to be their loss of the appeal in the Becerra case in 2015.

A related question is what has happened to The "Rt Rev" Owen Rhys Williams, who was "Bishop in Residence" (but neither rector nor priest-in-charge) while the Bush group was in possession of the property. If he is still in the area, he does not seem to be making any appearance at the neighboring All Saints Fountain Valley parish, whose facebook page suggests that, with the position of rector vacant since early 2013, they have been holding morning prayer only on Sunday mornings, led by one of their subdeacons.

While Williams is still listed as "episcopal visitor" to the moribund ACA Diocese of the West, it is Stephen Strawn who makes occasional posts on the Fountain Valley facebook page. One would think that Williams, if he's still in the area, could presumably use the honorarium for saying mass in Fountain Valley -- is there any money left for Mrs Bush to pay him in Hollywood?

You'd think the Creels in Fountain Valley would want to help the guy out. His former ACA parish, in Rochester, NH recently hired a full-time replacement rector, but it doesn't seem as if they were sad to see Williams leave in any case. What's up with this guy?

Any info would be appreciated!
