dbpprop:abstract
  • Frederick George Lee (b. 6 January 1832 in Thame, Oxfordshire; d. 22 January 1902 at Lambeth, London) was a priest of the Church of England, author, and founder of the Order of Corporate Reunion. Lee was trained in Cuddesdon Theological College, and was ordained to priesthood 1856 by the Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce. Lee became together with Ambrose de Lisle and others, a co-founder of the Association for Promoting the Union of Christendom (A.P.U.C.). In Aberdeen he had difficulties with the bishop concerning his ritualistic practices, and finally became vicar of All Saints', Lambeth, London. He founded a clandestine Anglo-Papalist society, the Order of Corporate Reunion, to continue the work of the A.P.U.C. and to restore the apostolic succession through re-ordinations as a means for reunion. Lee was consecrated a bishop by some Roman Catholic prelates whose names were kept secret. Later, however, Lee became disillusioned and recognized that he had made a mistake. Lee was received into the Roman Catholic Church 11 December 1901, shortly before his death.
