About the Author: Paul Peter Jesep
Paul Peter Jesep is a New York attorney. He is a graduate of Bangor Theological Seminary and an ordained Eastern Orthodox priest. In his ministry, Fr. Paul has supported marriage equality, advocated for women’s ordination, and called on Orthodox leaders to acknowledge and stamp out anti-Semitism. He was the only Eastern Orthodox representative at the interfaith processional of New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop V. Gene Robinson.
In his speech, Mr. Barr perpetuates long held inaccuracies now resembling truth. Using a broad brush to call the Founding Fathers, Christians (and let’s not forget Founding Mothers), is inappropriate.
