Dear Friends in Christ, I am pleased to share that there were 35 physical signatures presented to the Bishop this evening, with an additional 6 physical signatures which came in shortly after the meeting concluded. I'm looking at these online signatures, and from what I can tell, only two of them can count as original signatures towards the total 41 physical signatures. Please do not sign this if you are not a parishioner, and if you already signed the physical petition, you are graciously and kindly invited to remove your signature so we can have a clean record of of support for this peaceful petition. There is no doubt that this has been a peaceful petition, offered in Christian joy. Yours in Christ, Heidi

This dismissal has been done without thought for the will of the parishioners. Father Draper is a good, kind and caring man and deserves better from a church he serves so well.
We are disturbed to find out that Fr Draper was dismissed without any consultation with the Parishioners. We would like to know the reasons why a wonderful, dedicated good man with a true faith who has been doing so much good work in the Parish was summarily dismissed. We petition that he should be reinstated to his position as Parish Priest at St Pauls
He's a nice guy
Fr. Draper is why I attend St Lukes
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” — Romans 12:2, KJV “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.” — 1 John 2:15–16, KJV “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance.” — 1 Peter 1:14, KJV “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil.” — Exodus 23:2, KJ
Because it’s Gods Will .. it’s what God would want as someone who truly has God on their Heart!!

Jordan is on a quest to saintly living with others who are also on that quest. He is devote and sincere. He has invested his life in his calling. I feel his preaching and teaching is to a level most don't reach in the sermons preached. He came to St. Lukes he said because if the Bishop and parishioners were unanimously in their decision to call him here he would not refuse the calling. I would think that there would be some responsibility on the part of that vetting leadership .
