At the heart of abuse is exploiting real or perceived power imbalances to obtain an advantage over another person. And if you want to see a horrific example, look at the case of Grant, Gracie, and Angie Solomon.

Angie Solomon was married to a well–known figure in the Nashville area, former WSMV anchor Aaron Solomon. They have two children — the late Grant Solomon, a high school student and star baseball player, and Gracie Solomon, Grant’s younger sister.

Update on perjuring priest Bob Malm, the debacle at the Diocese of Virginia, and the meltdown at Grace Episcopal Alexandria

Anglican Watch recently passed a milestone, which we marked without fanfare. That milestone is the eighth anniversary of Episcopal priest Bob Malm's abusive behavior that ultimately led to the creation of this publication. And while we didn't pull out the champagne and caviar to celebrate, we extend our congratulations to Malm for this, the major accomplishment of his more than 40 years in ministry.
