We ask that the Vestry appoint a currently formed Committee to:

To look into this Rectors Tenure at All Saints and possibly examine his NOT being the Best Fit for Us as a Parish Family due to his inability to grow this Parish and Lead us in all aspects of the word. We feel that he has Stacked the Vestry (including the Senior Warden) in his favor as well as many Committees to do his bidding and that the only current Committee worthy of doing this job of review should be the Worship Committee, Worship Team or what ever they are called, as they have the fortitude to look at what is working and not in our Spiritual needs and attempts to fix it. After all loosing Parishioners is a big part of our not filling that need and that comes from the Rector and his Leadership or in this case lack of. This Committee who ever they are should be allowed to look into this Rectors Tenure unfettered by any current Vestry Member, Senior Warden or other current Committee Member; and see if this needs to continue to be a Partnership or not. You see some of us believe that you all are so in his back pocket along with the other stacked committees that you do not have the fortitude to do this. So we shall see, because some of us think you will white wash this and not have the guts to allow this Worship Team (whatever they are called) to do this independently.

What a Joke of a Parish Meeting!

So let's recap this poor attempt to do the find the Pea in the cup game. A Sing Along that made the Rector look like a Three Ring Circus Leader. A Poor Attempt to kill time. Then there was the "Rectors Report", a poor use of quality paper and oxygen. This was a lecture and not a report.  This clearly was another time killer. No place did we hear any vision for this Church, what he is doing to move this Church forward. In fact all he did was blame everyone else (including the National Church, Gay's, Lesbian's, and Women) for the decline in Our Churches Membership. The National Church has little effect on a local Churches Membership, in fact the local Churches grow despite the National Church as they provide what the Parishioners need in a Church. Unlike this Rector who is in denial about everything, and blames everyone else for all the problems. Thank the Lord above for one All Saint's member who had the fortitude to ask for and get the approval for a continuance meeting to be held to discuss the issues facing this Church and to get the Rector and his Senior Warden to MAN-UP about what is going on. I for one hope to see many persons there asking all the hard questions. In my humble opinion this meeting was intended to have a lot of SMOKE & MIRRORS, to take up the time with the drool called "The Rectors Report", create a bait and switch, and run out the clock. Well, one Person saw through all this and stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park placing the Rector and Senior Warden on Notice that we are not done with this yet and are not going away.

Absent Rector (Drive By Rector)!

He is never around (in the office or otherwise) and is always on Vacation, or "Out of the Office". He needs to be here and if he is not willing to be here to take the leadership role as the Rector then let him go to a position like Hospital Chaplin. How are we expected to go to the next level as a Church when the Driver of the Bus is not even on the BUS? What good is in that? Our investments in his move up to MD and our paying other expenses we have possibly paid for trips back to Memphis (possibly), his housing allowance with a perfectly good Rectory in place he could have lived in during his transition and saved us some housing allowance cost. And his Salary, which we find to be too high. With all the expense and salary we still see a decline in Membership, unhappy Parishioners, and not giving us any return on this expensive investment. People are walking away and this could be stopped by his removal.

He stated during a recent Sermon that he was a Rector at another Church.

Did I (we) sleep through this part of his background? He said there he had issues very similar to the ones we bring to your attention. Why did you all call this person to be the Rector of this Church if you knew of these issues? Did you speak to this other Church and see what the issues were there? Did you do due diligence, in order to get the best person for our Parish and allow us to get an ROI with this person? Did you have to beg him a second time to come to All Saints and Sweeten the Pot with Financial incentives to lure him to MD? Once he said no then you should have moved on and searched more, not beg him to come. He makes very questionable statements to and about Parish Members ~ At times those have been questionable and border on unprofessional for a person in his position. He has also made derogatory statements to members of this Parish and when approached about it basically “Blows it off” as if he is oblivious to the statements or the effect they have on Parish Members. In our book this is not what we expect in a Rector or a Priest. The lack of leadership and his destructive nature - In other words, his actions and words are not what we want in a Rector & not in Spiritual Leader.

Confusing messages to many different persons

This Rector has a History of telling one person one thing then going completely in an opposite direction with out any clarification as to why or any reasons to the change. This has lead to many persons to not trust him as well as think he speaks out both sides of his mouth and not one side is truthful in any shape way or matter. He promises but fails to deliver ~ Multiple times there have been conversations with members that have lead them to believe he wanted them to be part of a bigger Committee, Project etc… only to have it all pulled away and these persons left out in the cold, and other persons given the opportunities. Better known as favoritism or Stacking the Deck to avoid any confrontation or objections to any decisions he might make. Puppet Committees. Yes this includes the Vestry, Senior Warden (hugely) & no; I did not stutter.

A Call For the Removal of Father Tom Momberg Rector Of All Saints Episcopal Church Frederick MD.

Hello! And welcome to our web blog. We Have A RED DOOR on the front of our Church (All Saints Episcopal Church Frederick MD.) representing the "All Are Welcome" philosophy of the Episcopal Church. The way we see it is our current Church stands in the community of Frederick MD (due to the Rector, Father Tom Momberg) a broken and divided Church, loosing Parish Family Members right and left. We’re a group of concerned Parishioners who love our Church and feel our Church is being systematically dismantled from with in. As one of the oldest Churches in Frederick MD, we have a long history of Community involvement. Our Image is one of good standing in the community in the past, but this has changed. The current Rector has effectively caused us to loose face in Frederick, through his actions in the community & in the Parish. We see that many things have been done and continue to be done that do not reflect the true nature of our Church, and that many loved fellow parishioners have departed our parish community because of this Rector and will not return till his departure. The departed families are not going to other denominational churches! They are attending worship at other Episcopal Churches in the area. We Need Your Help! We need your voice to be heard! So we can follow correct Church policy in the removal of this current Rector. Please join this effort and take back our Church! We need to start the healing process and call a Rector that will be a true leader of this lost flock. Come back often so you can check out our progress and to see what other concerned parish members have to say. We also welcome those that have differing opinions, as we "Welcome All" no matter what.
