Local church members plan to protest outside Boston’s Church of the Advent on February 22, 2024. The protestors object to Dallas Bishop George Sumner’s presence at the church, where he will be delivering a presentation, “A Distant Mirror: Anglo-Catholics in Mission” at 6:30 P.M. on the 22nd.
Protesters tell Anglican Watch that they object to Sumner for “dumping” outgoing rector George Anderson on the Church. Anderson has been the subject of two Title IV clergy disciplinary complaints involving allegations of sexual harassment of women. The second complaint also alleged that Anderson lied to church officials in the prior Title IV case.
Additionally, local church members object to Sumner’s anti-LGBTQIA+ stance.
Anglican Watch has repeatedly covered up Sumner’s misconduct while in office, including his:
- Cover-up the sexual harassment of women in the Diocese of Dallas.
- Bullying of LatinX church members.
- Violation of church prohibitions of retaliation for opposing the sexual harassment of women.
