Early life and education

Lee's parents immigrated to Australia from Guangzhou province, China, in the 1950s. Lee describes his family as having been culturally Buddhist; he was excused from mandatory Christian religious instruction at James Cook Boys high school along with other non-Christian students. Lee converted to Christianity at a church-run summer camp and later "horrified" his immigrant parents by taking a year off from medical school at the University of New South Wales to study at Moore Theological College. He completed a theology degree instead of returning to medical school.

Career

Lee has served as a presbyter in Manly, Beverly Hills, and Merrylands. He worked for eight years in an inner-city church in Melbourne, then became rector of St Aidan's Church in Hurstville Grove.

Theological positions

Lee has taken a traditionalist position on the question of women preaching, and on same-sex marriages, stating that, "We don't hold this position as a matter of mere tradition but as the scriptures dictate." Lee is part of the leadership of a theologically conservative and evangelically oriented movement within the Anglican Communion known as Global Anglican Future.

Lee has taken public positions opposing racism and, in particular, criticizing the anti-immigration positions taken by Drew Fraser, citing the Bible as his authority that "there is equality between all people."
