Disclaimer: Desmond's a former teacher of mine, so this criticism, and the absence of his commentary, wounds me a little. In my younger, formative years as a fresh-out-of-the-box priest, I thought him the paradigm of what Anglican/Episcopal clergy could do on the world stage.
Fortunately, the hero I have left was a scholar/cleric from Iraq, who died a few years ago, who taught me more about the satisfaction of simple spiritual victories than did those who receive the fawning attention and temporal glory.
