I believe Peter Lee to be an honorable and honest man of God. I can't prove it in any objective sense any more than AH can prove that he is a lying, dishonorable coward, but my version that has been my limited personal experience with the man. And it feels better to say it than it does to vilify the man (I hope).<br /><br />ScoutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-35760232222244253242011-09-28T21:11:20.964-04:002011-09-28T21:11:20.964-04:00Perhaps he was just tired - tired of watching the ...Perhaps he was just tired - tired of watching the decline of his own diocese and, just maybe beginning, to wonder if he bore responsibility.<br /><br />RalphMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-65026653339575506222011-09-27T08:57:15.674-04:002011-09-27T08:57:15.674-04:00We are known by our fruits.

Sadly, tragically, Peter Lee will be known for years to come for his duplicity and cowardice, bowing to the demands of "the new sheriff" who came to town in the person of Katherine Schori. So much sadness, so many dollars, all because he wouldn't keep his word. Not much of a Virginia gentleman, after all.<br /><br />And isn't the American Cathedral the church that Camus came to in the last years of his life? A better story, really, worthy of Peter Lee's meditation. Unlike most, Camus was willing to look the dragon of his unbelief in the eye, and not blink. But he also knew that if there really was a God, then that would change everything. Everything.<br /><br />We are all always hobbits, muddling through, even with great tasks to take up. There is no final judgment here, as that is God's to do-- but I do lament, and I do groan over any honoring of Peter Lee, as he has not been very honorable.Always hobbitsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-18029656440905046592011-09-21T22:03:19.939-04:002011-09-21T22:03:19.939-04:00The bishop of my confirmation on the feast of Will...The bishop of my confirmation on the feast of William Laud in 2006; may God bless and keep +Peter Lee.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516444685469895837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-79131594151728873742011-09-21T17:15:37.774-04:002011-09-21T17:15:37.774-04:00The hearing will be an opportunity for counsel to ...The hearing will be an opportunity for counsel to answer Judge Bellows' questions before he hands down his decision.<br /><br />bbAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17490745238430648958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-40238695431006621592011-09-21T17:06:57.489-04:002011-09-21T17:06:57.489-04:00What is the October/November hearing for? +Lee ha...What is the October/November hearing for? +Lee has indeed been treated quite well since leaving Virginia -- perhaps TEC's gratitude for pursuing litigation?Steven in Falls Churchnoreply@blogger.com
