From Richmond-
Since his retirement as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, Peter Lee has led a life peripatetic and productive. He recently was named the interim dean of the American Cathedral in Paris. Truly he has answered the invitation, "Follow me."
After leaving Mayo House, Lee served as interim dean of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and as interim head of General Theological Seminary in New York City. He apparently has an affinity for architectural beauty. Grace ranks among the majestic churches in the world; its presence lifts eyes and allows them to see that which often goes unseen. GTS occupies a campus in Manhattan conducive to repose. The American Cathedral conveys the Word.
In Paris, Lee will replace Zachary Fleetwood, an engaging curate who is a native Virginian and who once was rector of an Episcopal parish in The Plains, which seems a long way from Avenue George V. The cathedral offers a gathering place not only for Episcopalians abroad but for travelers of all denominations. Its congregation is not limited to expats or to Americans living in France but reflects national diversity. Fleetwood departs to become rector of a storied church in Edinburgh.
