Should the Current Rector Fr. Tom Momberg Step Down?

"Luke 13:1-9"

Ok, I am not a theologian and never played one on TV.  But this reading today hit me hard and placed many things in perspective.


1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
 2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
 3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
 4Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
 5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
 6He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
 7Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
 8And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
 9And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.


So I ask a simple question:

With all the dung being placed around by this Rector and Senior Warden over the last two (2) years.  Why has this Fig Tree (Rector) not produced any Tangible Fruit in this Parish?  Clearly NONE that I nor others can see!  So, we have given it (his tenure) longer than the gardener gave the Fig Tree to produce Fruit.  It is time to "Cut it (The Rector) down (remove him as Rector); why cumbereth it the Parish?"  In other words "It is time to remove this poor Performing Tree (the Rector Fr. Tom Momberg at All Saints) from our vineyard (All Saints Parish).  "What Say You All Saints?"  Are you up for some uprooting and starting anew with a new Priest that will bear the true fruit we all need in this Parish?
