The Anglican Catholic Church has removed a Grand Rapids priest for making an alleged Nazi salute.
Calvin Robinson, priest-in-charge at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church, was defrocked Thursday, Jan. 29, after church leadership learned he’d made the controversial salute to a crowd at the National Pro-Life Summit on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.
As someone who used to live in Grand Rapids, MI, I’m not surprised at all. West Michigan is a place of polar opposites: Both progressive in pockets, but also deeply bible-belty. You can’t drive more than a mile without passing at least a half dozen churches.
Also, it’s where Betsy Devos’ company and one of the largest for-profit charter school organizations in the country is based.
As well as Amway. Honestly, downtown Grand Rapids has one of the best downtowns in the region. A lot of small independent bars and eateries. I especially recommend The Pyramid Scheme.
