Should the Current Rector Fr. Tom Momberg Step Down?

"Shepherd Of The Flock is not wanted by the Flock!"

In the bible, there are many references to the fact that "Christ" was the Shepherd of the Flock.  He even told the Apostles that they were the Shepherd's of his Church.  They were to watch over his followers like a Shepherd is to do with all the sheep.  The work of a Rector is to do the same, no matter what.  In this case if a sheep is lost or falls ill.  The Shepherd is to bring them back, or nurse them back to good health through Honest Paryer.  This is done in the traditional way of Visiting the Lost Sheep or meeting with them to see where he can help and offer his guidance.  In the Case of Illness or Death, he is to be there to comfort and support as the Church Leader through Paryer or other means.

My friends in "Christ" this is not the case of the current Rector of All Saints.  I can give you example after example where this Shepherd did not do any of the above, or where he simply did not care too show, or even speak with the involved individuals or showed up at the 11th hour and did his "Drive By Rector Thing".  There re members in the Parish that have gotten so tired of his antics that they have told persons in the Church "Please do not tell the Rector Father Momberg that so and so is ill or having a rough go of it or is having conflict about coming to this Church" because they do not want him any where close and to have a Faux Presence/Visit.  Is this a way for Parishioners to feel?  If we do not want him at our times of need (Now Tommy, Deacon Tom, or Deacon Kay we do want), is this not a sign that he is not an effective leader or Rector? Why have him as the Rector of All Saints (sucking up a huge Salary etc...) if no one wants him in their time of need, which is a PRIMARY DUTY OF ANY PRIEST?  Rector Momberg, Please Step Down so we can get a REAL RECTOR/Shepherd for this Flock of All Saints.  "What Say You All Saints?"
