Yet R E Lee seems to have been fond of wearing a tassle of a sort himself. <BR/><BR/>http://image02.webshots.com/2/2/67/98/45426798QwfBAf_ph.jpg<BR/><BR/>Perhaps R E was a stealth Anglo-Catholic, having been influenced by the Oxford Movement (1833-1845) in his younger years? No, certainly not. Very odd.

What would R E Lee think of all this Episcopal mess I wonder? I reckon they don't like to quote him too much. He did say “Obedience to lawful authority is the foundation of manly character.” So who has the lawful authority? Well, I can't see R E Lee thinkin' we should defy Bp Lee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10205805.post-1156386852438196722006-08-23T21:34:00.000-05:002006-08-23T21:34:00.000-05:00Well nevermind.

Of course, Bishop Lee never said that homosexuality was biblical either, although I suppose to some in the orthodox camp he may not have any ground to stand on since he supports what General Convention did.<BR/><BR/>I must say, however, that what Nigeria is trying to do to Bishop Lee is not cool. The idea that someone could be an incumbant in an ECUSA parish and a bishop in a national church that is not in communion with ECUSA is preposterous. At least at this stage in the process of figuring out where ECUSA stands with regard to the Communion, if Truro needs alternative oversight, it must be granted by Bishop Lee. A foreign primate can't impose it. Unfortunately, however, that is exactly what some people want. When push comes to shove some people are more than happy to throw ecclesiology out the window.Fr Andrew Petiprinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592980361650547833noreply@blogger.com
