Episcopal Priest Bob Malm Ignores Social Distancing Guidelines

You really have to hand it to Bob Malm. Not only is he a perjurer and a bully, but he is indifferent to the wellbeing of his parish.

Specifically, until the bishop specifically asked that St Gabriel’s, his current church, cease in-person Sunday worship, Bob went blithely along, indifferent to the recommendations of officials to avoid public gatherings. In fact, at his last service, streamed here. Twelve persons were in attendance, and I believe all were high-risk due to being over age 65.

Nor was Bob careful. Not only were members of the choir and altar party well within six feet of each other, but in the video Bob can be seen repeatedly wiping his nose and touching his face prior to conducting Holy Eucharist. Hardly reassuring, especially if one’s parent is part of the congregation.

Even for Bob Malm, the conduct is profoundly disappointing.
