Calvin Robinson, priest-in-charge at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church, was defrocked Thursday, Jan. 29, after church leadership learned he’d made the controversial salute to a crowd at the National Pro-Life Summit on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.

Rev. Calvin Robinson, Priest-in-charge of the St. Paul's Anglican Catholic Church (ACC) on Lake Michigan Drive in Grand Rapids, is no longer serving as a priest in the church and has had his license in the church revoked.

Former British cleric Calvin Robinson has spoken out after he was defrocked for copying the controversial gesture made by Elon Musk, which some have compared to a Nazi salute. The gesture took place at the end of Robinson’s speech at a national pro-life summit in Washington D.
