From San Diego-Like it was for most Episcopal priests, Ash Wednesday was a big day for Rev. Doran Stambaugh. He arrived at St. Michael’s at 7:40 a.m., 20 minutes before his first of three services that day. He knew something was wrong the minute he walked in to Carlsbad’s historic church by the sea.
“As I walked down the hall, I saw all the doors were open. I could see someone had taken a crowbar to the hardware on the cabinets.”
As he walked into the main nave, Stambaugh saw the approximately one-square-foot marble “tabernacle” that held the reserve sacraments was missing from the center of the main altar. What he saw, he says, was “spiritually violent…. They took the tabernacle and threw it on the ground.”
