Is he referring to us? Because if he isn't it sounds like he is promoting a clergy laity system which, in my opinion, would be extremely hypocritical for a person that disparaged the clergy laity as much as he did.

Solid points ZNP. Moreover I think brother Lee wanted to limit the scope of who is qualified to discern leprosy. Specifically those who expressed loyalty to
his
ministry. Brothers who were no longer absolute for
his
ministry were disqualified in his mind for the sake of his work and for the sake of his son's reputation.
How dare anyone think it's his co-workers or his son as the office manager who were the leprous ones.
